Add half of the chopped coriander and a pinch of asafoetida powder , when you crush 2 tomatoes (with hands) in tamarind pulp.This will add to the taste.

You can add 3 cups water when you add the tamarind pulp if you want to have this rasam with rice.Otherwise , if you want to have it as soup, strain the recipe preparation as such and serve hot in a soup bowl.
