Take out the dal in a bowl and wash it until the water stops turning cloudy. Now drain the water and cook the dal with 2 cups of water in a pressure cooker for about 10 minutes.
Now put some ghee in a deep bottomed pan and add roughly chopped tomatoes, chillies, ginger and curry leaves. Mix all the things well and now put turmeric powder in it. Add 2 big cups of water and let it boil. Once you see the tomatoes turning soft, start mashing them. Add salt to adjust seasoning.
Now add boiled lentils to this mixture and let it cook for about 5 minutes. On the other hand, start tempering the rasam. Take a small pan and add ghee to it. When the ghee becomes hot, add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, curry leaves, asafoetida and black pepper. Once it crackles, pour in the prepared rasam, squeeze three lemons and serve with rice or idli.
