- Soak the tamarind in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes. Kneading with your fingertips, squeeze juice out of tamarind and discard the pulp.
- Pour the tamarind juice into a vessel. Add salt, rasam powder, asafoetida and curry leaves into the same vessel.
- Close the vessel and keep it over the fire. Bring everything to a boil and cook on high flame for few minutes.
