  Dear guns, hope this is the rasam you want.MOCHAI RASAM
  
  Ingredients.
  125 grms roasted mochai
  1 litre water
  1 tsp cumin
  1 tsp black pepper
  2 dry chillies
  1 lime-size tamarind
  ¼ tsp tumeric powder
  4 pods garlic roughly smashed
  
  FOR TEMPERING
  
  2 tsp oil
  ½ tsp mustard
  2 stalks curry leaves
  2 red chilli broken
  salt to taste
  
  METHOD:
  
  Boil the roasted mochai in a litre of water till cooked , and keep aside.
  Coarsely grind the blacl pepper, cumin seeds and the dry chillies, and
  Add to the mochai mixture.
  Extract the tamarind juice, using a little water and add it to the mochai mixture.
  Also add the tumeric powder, and the roughly smashed garlic.
  Add some water to the mixture if you find the liquid is very little.
  Heat a pot, add 2 tsp of oil. When it’s hot add the mustard seeds followed by the broken red chillies, and the curry leaves.
  When the dry chilli browns, quickly pour the motchai mixture and close immediately.
  Open the lid when it starts to boil, add salt to taste, and remove from fire.

  Dear Guns, it will be like soup. Rasam is our Indian soup. So you add enough water to be like soup.
