Method

Wash and cut the mango the big pieces.

Add about 1 cup of water to the pieces and let it cook until soft and tender.  It takes about 10-12 minutes.

After the mango is cooked, remove the pieces and scoop out the flesh part of mango and transfer it to a mixer jar. Also save the water in which the mango is cooked.

Grind the mango pulp along with cooked water to a puree and keep it aside.

Meanwhile set aside ¼ cup or 3-4 tbsp of cooked thuvardal/thuvaram paruppu aside.

Crush the black pepper & cumin seeds in mortar and pestal and keep it aside.

In a wide bowl mix the ground mango puree and cooked thur dal well and keep it ready.

Heat 1 tbsp of ghee in a saucepan/kadai, splutter mustear seeds and cumin seeds.

Now add ¼ tsp of asafoetida/perungayam, curry leaves and fry until the leaves turn crispy.

Add dry red chilli, slit and cut green chillies, chopped ginger and saute for about 20-30 seconds.

Add the chopped tomatoes and saute well until they turn mushy.

At this stage add the dal+mango mixture and another cup of water.

Add required salt, turmeric powder and give a good stir.

When it starts to boil, add the crushed black pepper+cumin, one small piece of jaggery and give a good stir.

Let the rasam boil until it becomes frothy. 

At this stage add coriander leaves/cilantro, switch off the stove and close the lid. 

Yummy, tangy, spicy and super delectable Raw Mango Rasam is ready to be enjoyed. 

Serve it hot with steam cooked white rice and Kathirikkai/Brinjal Fry.

Suggestions:

Adding Thurdal is optional, you can skip the cooked thurdal. If you are not adding thurdal then make sure you reduce the number of green chillies.
