This recipe was a hit! I was going to save some for the next recipe, but it got devoured. I think the tempering got away from me a bit with my electric (boo) stove top, so the lentils were a little crunchy, but the flavor and the aromas in my house were amazing. I also spent a good hour just taking tangents on the cultural references that were unfamiliar to me. Thanks for sharing and keep these coming!
This was the bomb!!! Just needed to wrap it up in samosa pastry and deep fry and I'd be back in the Middle East. Thanks so much! This will be a staple for us.
Greta, thank you! Then you are going to love next week's. Make sure you have some of this ready for next week - we'll be deep frying it coated in chickpea flour batter.
This blog is treasure. Loving the discussions in each post, too. "Pepper water" sounds like rubbish, as though the English supplanting term is also meant to take the actual flavor out of rasam.
Anyway, I'm going to cook these up and surprise Betsy with them.

Tim, thank you SO much. This comment means a lot. Let me know how the cooking goes, and let me know if you have questions as you make the dishes.
