Twist on a Classic - Tomato and Lentil Rasam with Barley

Tomato and Lentil Rasam with Barley

This isn't always precisely your traditional rasam, as rasams are usually brothy, skinny and truly watery soups that are served together with a dal dish, generally as the second path of a south Indian meal. Tamarind and tomatoes do determine prominently in this relatively unusual rasam as they ordinarily do, and the spices are ones that I typically encompass in a rasam. It makes for a lovely "gravy" to spoon over rice too. But this is a thicker model that consists of pearl barley further to red lentils, serving no longer best to fill matters out ? Making it a greater filling and prominent characteristic of a meal ? However also adding a tantalizing layer of texture. You can regulate the water content to make it thicker or thinner, relying in your desire. It is going specially properly with vegetable side dishes and Indian flat breads if favored.

Of direction I had to flavor a few before I served it, due to the fact that is what discerning chefs do. The first element that struck me, apart from the easy texture, with a touch of nutty taste from the barley, a pleasing acidity from the tomatoes and the sweet and bitter undertone from the tamarind. I additionally detected a hint of dill, however I did not use dill. So what turned into it that truely delivered a unique pleasant to this rasam? It turned into authentic Greek oregano that I brought on the give up of the cooking time. What a delight for the palate. So many flavors but all of them melded together for a rapturous melody that one will not quickly overlook.
