Method:

Pressure cook horse gram with required water. Strain the horse gram. I prepared curry with horse gram. I got 2 cups of horse gram water. Keep aside. Dry roast coriander seeds and fenugreek seeds. Powder them with cumin seeds and peppercorn. Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds, asafoetida, garlic and green chillies. Saute garlic till it changes to golden color. Now add the tomato pieces and salt and saute. Add the rasam powder and pour the tamarind water. Add turmeric powder and curry leaves. Boil the water till the raw smell fades. Now add the horse gram water and bring it to a boil. Remove from heat and add the coriander leaves. Serve with rice or drink.
