to prepare the tempering

  • The unique flavours to the dish are provided by the tempering.
  • Into a small wok, add a tsp of oil followed by mustard seeds and set on medium heat.
  • As the splutter add the urad dal and broken bits of the chillies.
  • When the dal turns golden add in the curry leaves to crackle and the rasam powder and remove from heat. The rasam powder gets roasted and the aroma comes out.

Notes

The key flavour is a good quality rasam powder and this when added to the oil burns real fast. So be careful to remove from heat as soon as the rasam powder is added and pour it into the avocado which will cool it down.
