Check out my ulundu vadai post to see how to make vadai. I have linked the recipe in the ingredients list. Do not add onion to the vadai. Soak a small gooseberry sized tamarind in hot water and take a thin extract using 1 cup of water. In a pan add the tamarind water, rasam powder, asafoetida, salt and finely chopped tomato. Keep the cooked toor dal ready by diluting it with 1 cup of water. If using the freshly ground rasam powder add to the tamarind extract mix. Allow the tamarind mixture to boil for 5 to 7 minutes in a low flame. Add in the toor dal water to this and when it is frothy switch off the flame.
