Notes
Use freshly grounded pepper and jeera instead of rasam powder.
My aunt split and roasted the horse gram and gave to me. So I used directly. You can roast them slightly before cooking.
You can mash the horse gram using masher too instead of grinding in mixer.
Adjust the amount of water according to thickness required.
This can be served as soup or can be served with hot rice.
