Method
Rinse the green chilli and coriander leaves. Peel and chop the ginger, chop the coriander leaves, slit the green chilli and crush the cumin. Whisk the curd until smooth.
Mix the whisked curd, water and salt in a bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and slightly thin.
Add the ginger, green chilli, crushed cumin, pepper, turmeric and asafoetida to the curd mixture. Mix well until the spices are spread through it.
Pour the curd mixture into a saucepan and heat on low flame for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir often and switch off when it is warm and small bubbles appear at the sides. Do not boil, as the curd may split.
Heat the oil in a small kadai on medium flame for 1 minute until hot. Add the mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add the cumin and curry leaves and fry for 20 to 30 seconds until the leaves turn crisp.
Pour the tempering over the warm rasam and add the coriander leaves. Stir once and serve warm with rice.
