Ingredients
Tamarind pulp (thick) – ¼ Cup
Ripe Tomatoes – 2 no. medium size
Garlic Pods – 4 no.
Bunch of coriander leaves
Curry leaves, Mustard seeds, Cumin seeds, red chillies, Asafetida/hing – for seasoning.
If you have VADAVAM, use that for seasoning.
Now that I mentioned Vadavam I want to add few words about it. Vadavam is made of 19 ingredients, which are used in seasoning. All these ingredients are mixed with castor oil and are allowed to dry for few days. The dried vadvam is made into small ball and stored in dry jar to be used for rest of the year.

Vadavam rasam is one of the best I ever tasted. But unfortunately it is not very easy to make. I was lucky to get it from my husband’s aunt who is from Tirchy. I use it occasionally.
I heard it is available at few stores in Chennai.
