1 marble sized tamarind soaked in water / ½ tablespoon tamarind paste
2 tsp Kandathippili rasam powder
Asafoetida
Turmeric powder
Salt to taste
Tempering:
1 tsp oil
½ tsp mustard seeds
½ tsp cumin seeds
Few curry leaves
Instructions
Extract the pulp from tamarind and add 1 cup water.
Boil with salt, turmeric powder and hing till the raw smell of the tamarind goes.
Mix the rasam powder in 1 cup of water and add to the rasam.
Bring it to one boil on slow fire.
Heat oil and add the tempering ingredients till they splutter.

Notes
Traditionally, rasam is tempered with Ghee. Being dairy free, I avoid ghee by default. However, if you prefer, you can do tempering with ghee. Adjust the quantity of the rasam powder as per your requirement.
