| 1. In a medium size saucepan put the oil, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, methi seeds (also known as fenugreek seeds), chana dal, and the dried red chili pieces. | 2. Heat over high heat until the mustard seeds pop for about 15 seconds. | 3. Quickly stir in the water and tamarind paste. | 4. Add the turmeric, salt and rasam powder (available at Indian spice stores), and stir again. | 5. The recipe ingredients state to add 1 Tablespoon sambhar powder, but it should actually be rasam powder. | 6. The computer would not accept the word rasam. | 7. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 5-10 minutes. | 8. Add the tomato juice and simmer 5 more minutes. | 9. Turn off heat and garnish with the cilantro. | 10. Instead of the dried red chili pieces, you can use one or two serrano chilies, sliced in half length-wise. | 11. If you have tomatoes that you want to use up, increase the water to 4 cups, eliminate the tomato juice, and add the tomatoes after the mustard seeds have popped. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
