Rasam Podi/ Rasam Powder

Moving to a new place, I need to equip my kitchen for comfortable functioning. I had already posted the Sambar Podi. This is the homemade instant rasam podi. It is pretty easy to make & shelve.

Here are the things we need

Toor Dal              -  1 cup
Coriander seeds   -  3 cup
Black pepper       -  3/4 cup
Red chilli              -  4 or 5
Cumin Seeds        -  1/2 cup
Asafoetida            -  a little

Dry roast the first four ingredients and allow it to cool. Grind them along with the cumin seeds.
