RE: Hari Matar Ki Rasam 👨🍳 Split Pea Rasam 🥣 An Ital Recipe 💚💛❤️

I've never had rasam, but it looks like a soup. Your dish looks quite colorful and sounds tasty, except I think I'd prefer less heat than your Madam Jeanette chilis would add (imho, that much heat numbs the tongue to other flavors). I love Split Pea Soup very much, it is one of my favorites! I had no clue about "hing" so I looked it up, read about it, and am still a bit clueless... LOL! "Masoor Dal" seems to translate to "red lentils," so that sounds good as I like lentils, too. Idlis, dosas and vadas... OMG, so many things to look-up, I don't have time now but will try to research these later! 😂

If you're familiar with dal, rasam is a runnier and more sour version of this dish. Although I will say rasam doesn't necessarily need lentils or beans, and may be completely veggie.
It wasn't as spicy as it may appear, using only half of the pepper in the entire pot keeps things mild enough even for the @KidSisters.
Hing may be more commonly called asafoetida depending on where you may try to source it. Funny how I don't know the name of all the lentils in English. I think it's because Indians have very precise names for every variety. If I wanted "orange lentils" in the average Indian store, 5 or 6 lentil varieties would fit the bill.
If you've never had dosas, idlis or vadas, you are missing out. Dosas are like crepes, but savory, idlis are steamed fermented dumplings, and vadas are basically Indian savory donuts.
