Thankyou Parsu and Sangeetha for ur lovely comments:)
Hi Angie, toor dal or thuvaram paruppu is called as Pigeon Pea in english its an lentil. It is used to prepare Indian gravies. The purpose of mixing it in this powder is to increase the flavor and thicken the Rasam.
Thank you Gita
Dear Mye,
Thank you so much for posting podi recipes....I have noted down the proportion...Since the podi is already with toor dal do we have to add cooked toor dal or tool dal water while making rasam? Thanks once again

Hi Anusha, adding toordal to the podi is for aroma and to get more quantity. We should also add the cooked toordal or toordal water while preparing the Rasam:)
Made your south India rasam powder today and my house is filled with aroma of spices.
