Serving size: 1 cup
Place the basmati rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold running water. Swirl the rice gently with your fingers until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents stickiness. For best results, soak the rinsed rice in fresh water for 20-30 minutes, then drain completely.
In a medium saucepan with a heavy bottom and a tight-fitting lid, combine the drained rice, 2.25 cups of fresh water, and salt (if using).
Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. As soon as it boils, give it one gentle stir to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
Immediately reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting, cover the saucepan with the lid, and let it simmer for 12-15 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time, as the steam is crucial for cooking the rice evenly.
After 12-15 minutes, all the water should be absorbed. Turn off the heat and let the saucepan stand, still covered, for at least 5-10 minutes. This resting period allows the grains to firm up and finish steaming.
Uncover the rice and gently fluff the grains with a fork or a spatula to separate them. Serve hot as a perfect accompaniment to any meal.

Cook the Dal: In a pressure cooker, combine the rinsed toor dal, turmeric powder, and 1 cup of water. Pressure cook for 4-5 whistles on medium heat until the dal is completely soft and mushy. Once the pressure releases naturally, open the cooker and mash the dal well with the back of a spoon. Set aside.
Prepare the Rasam Base: While the dal cooks, combine the chopped tomatoes, tamarind paste, rasam powder, salt, and jaggery (if using) in a medium-sized pot. Add 2 cups of water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and the raw smell of the tamarind has disappeared.
Combine and Simmer: Pour the mashed dal into the tomato-tamarind mixture. Add 1 more cup of water, or adjust to achieve your desired consistency. Stir everything together well. Bring the rasam to a gentle simmer over low heat for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. A frothy layer will form on top. Do not let it come to a rolling boil, as this can diminish the aroma.
Prepare the Tempering (Tadka): Heat ghee in a small pan (tadka pan) over medium heat. Once hot, add the mustard seeds and let them splutter completely. Add the cumin seeds, broken dried red chillies, and crushed garlic. Sauté for 30-40 seconds until the garlic turns light golden and fragrant. Finally, add the curry leaves and hing, and sauté for another 10 seconds.
Finish and Garnish: Immediately pour the hot tempering over the simmering rasam. You will hear a satisfying sizzle. Stir gently, then turn off the heat. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves. Cover the pot and let the rasam rest for at least 5-10 minutes for the flavors to infuse before serving.
