Mangalore Rasam typically incorporates a fragrant combination of curry leaves, mustard seeds, asafoetida (hing), and dried red chilies sizzled in hot oil, which is known as the “tadka” or tempering. This tadka is added to the cooked toor dal and spice paste mixture, infusing the rasam with a delightful aroma and a subtle hint of spiciness.
One of the distinguishing features of Mangalore Rasam is its tanginess, which is achieved through the use of tamarind pulp or sometimes by incorporating kokum, a souring agent commonly used in coastal Karnataka cuisine. The rasam is typically garnished with fresh coriander leaves, adding a burst of freshness to the dish.
