Chef's Notes
Do not rush the tamarind boiling step. Raw tamarind will taste like an aggressive citrus attack on your palate, so let it simmer down gracefully with the jaggery.
Pro Tip
When grinding your roasted spices, ensure they are completely cool to the touch. Warm spices trap steam in the grinder and create a gunky paste instead of a fluffy powder.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you fail to release the pressure naturally or force-open your cooker too early, you will launch a high-velocity, molten dal-volcano all over your freshly cleaned kitchen ceiling.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
My Jester asked if the Rasam was 'watery enough'βI told him if it gets any thinner, we might as well serve it as a hydrating facial mist.
The Culinary Science
Pressure cooking raises the boiling point of water by increasing internal pressure, which breaks down the complex starches and proteins in toor dal in a fraction of the usual time.
