• Mix well. Add salt.
• Put the masala in this and mix well.
• Allow it to boil for a while.
• Now add cooked garlic and parapu jalam / cooked thur dals water.
• It is not advicable to add thur dal for delivered women so we are adding just a little water of cooked thur dal.
• Even without adding this dal water also you can make rasam.
• Bring it to a boil and remove from the fire.
• Serve with parrapu thuvial and hot rice.Ofcourse with ghee.

Notes:

• Instead of cooking you can put some garlic in ghee and fry them while seasoning.
• Or other wise you can fry some garlic while frying the ingredients and grind along with them.
• Because some wont like to eat garlic but like the taste.
