Watch how to make 'Ginger And Lime Rasam', a delicious South Indian recipe by Anushruti. <br /> <br />Ginger has been used as a spice and medicine in many herbal traditions for thousands of years to cure a number of ailments. And the miraculous, healthful properties of lime are widely recognized too. So here's Anushruti who brings you a delicious mix of these two ingredients, that is,'Ginger And Lime Rasam.' <br /> <br />Ingredients: Serves 6 to 8 <br /> <br />60 gm (1/3 cup) red gram dal (arhar dal) <br />2 tsp fresh ginger <br />1 tsp pepper <br />1 tsp cumin seeds <br />1 green chili <br />1/2 tsp turmeric powder <br /> <br />1/2 tsp asafetida powder <br /> <br />1 liter (4 cups) water <br />3 tsp salt <br />juice of 1 1/2 or 2 limes, depending on size and individual preference <br /> <br />Method: <br /> <br />- Wash the dal well and soak in water for 15 to 30 minutes. <br />- Assemble the ginger, pepper, cumin, chili, turmeric and asafetida and grind to a fine paste in a grinder or a mortar and pestle. <br />- Place the dal, the ground paste, water and salt and pressure cook for 3 to 4 whistles or until done. Alternatively cook in a saucepan until done, about 45 to 50 minutes. <br />- Turn off the heat, squeeze in the lime juice and serve hot. <br /> <br />Note:- Make sure you stir in the lime juice after you turn off the heat. Heating the soup with the lime in it will destroy most of the vitamin C. <br /> <br />Host:Anushruti RK ( http://www.divinetaste.com ) <br />Director: Suchandra Basu <br />Camera: Kawaldeep Singh Jangwal, Manjeet Katariya, Akshay Durgule <br />Editing: Kishor Rai <br />Creative Head: Kavya Krishnaswamy <br />Producer: Rajjat A.
