EGG RASSAM / RASSAM TELUR

Can I call this Indian soup.....I love this so much...every time when I got the chances to have lunch or dinner in banana leaf shop...I will definitely order this.I dont eat it with rice. I waited once every thing completed i asked for a minimum 2 glass of this rassam...and slurp....like hell...it's good to warm up your body system. At home if I made rassam I added some eggs...the children love it with eggs. Sometimes I used the store bought rassam powder...and sometimes I used what ever spices that I have in the cupboard.  Anyway trust me it's good.

Ingredients:

4 eggs

1 tbsp coriander powder

1/2 tbsp black pepper powder

1/2 tbsp cumin powder

1/2 tbsp saffron/kunyit powder

1 tsp mustard seeds

2 tbsp thick tamarind/assam juice

1 medium size tomato (sliced thinly)

4 shallots (chopped)

4 cloves garlic (chopped)

2 sprigs curry leaves

3 tbsp oil

1/2 litre water

salt to taste

Method:

When oil is heated, saute the garlic and shallots for 3-4 mins.  Add in coriander, pepper, cumin and saffron powder as well as tomato and curry leaves. Keep frying for another 4 mins.

Add water, tamarind juice and salt inside. Stir all the ingredients together and let it simmer.

Break in the eggs inside gently and let the eggs cook.  Remove from heat.

Kata orang tengah-tengah kebah dari demam ni elok ambil benda-benda yang boleh memanaskan badan. Inilah dia rassam. Paling suka saya kalau dapat hirup panas-panas. Selalunya kalau makan kat kedai restuarant daun pisang ini pasti saya tak lupa...selalu orang makan dengan nasi...tapi saya tak...saya lebih gemar buat penutup...hirup lepas makan masi...mak mai..bestnya.
