Rasam broth paste
3 teaspoons coriander seeds
1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
2 teaspoons split pigeon peas (Tuvar dal)
1 dried arbol chile
1/2 cup scalding hot water
Noodles & broth
1 packet rice noodles (thickness as per your preference)
4-5 cups water
salt to taste
2 tablespoons finely slivered fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1 sprig curry leaves, torn
Salt to taste
1 lime, cut into wedges
1 serrano chile, deseeded & cut into thin rings (optional)
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro (for garnish)
1 tablespoon clarified butter
1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1
soak the ingredients for the paste in scalding hot water for about 15 minutes. Grind to a smooth paste.
2
Combine the paste with the water, turmeric, salt, ginger and curry leaves and bring to a boil until the coriander seeds lose their 'raw aroma' (~ 5 -10 minutes after it begins to bubble ). In the meantime prepare the rice noodles as per the instructions on the packet. Drain and snip into manageable lengths using a pair of kitchen scissors and keep warm.
3
Heat the clarified butter / ghee in a skillet and add the cumin seeds when the ghee is near smoking hot. Once the cumin seeds 'split' , immediately add this tempering to the broth.
4
Divide the noodles into serving dishes. Pour the Hot broth over the noodles. Ideally the lime is added to the broth once it is done, but this also prevents the broth from being reheated, since the lime imparts a bitter note to the reheated broth. SO serve it alongside the noodles and let the guests add it individually as per their taste. You may choose to fish out the curry leaves prior to serving.
5
Serve the noodles and broth along with the lime wedges, serrano chile rings, and the cilantro (I personally love the cilantro, but for those with the soapy tasting gene, the cilantro can be a bit over powering in this otherwise mild rasam broth.
