Rasapodi- Rasam powder

Rasam powder is such a simple powder to make at home. Usually I roast and grind fresh powder whenever I make rasam and will forget to grind this powder. However this powder comes really handy on days when we feel lazy or tired. Many of my north Indian friends are fan of rasam so they asked to post this recipe. So I finally made the powder . There can be many variations in preparing this powder I am sharing my version.

Ingredients Thur dal 2 Tablespoon Corriander seeds 3 tablespoon Dry red chilies 20 Pepper 1 tablespoon Jeera 1 tablespoon Curry leaves 4-5 springs Preparation     1.     Dry roast the curry leaves in medium flame for few minutes.
