I've never known Bangalore like this before. Its Hot beyond words. And, this means that there are plenty of days when all I need is some lightly spiced Rasam with some steamed rice & buttermilk for lunch
So, this Nimbe Saaru/Lemon Rasam was made yesterday 

• 1 cup Moog Dal
• 3 green chillies
• 1 tsp grated ginger
• 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
• 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
• 1 tsp desi Ghee
• 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
• A few curry leaves
• Juice of 1 Lemon
• Salt as per taste
• Fresh coriander for garnish

• Clean Moong Dal & pressure cook with 2 cuos of water until quite mushy.
• Once cooked, mash with the back of a spoon, transfer to a heavy bottomed pot, Add 4 cups of water, green chillies, Salt, ginger & turmeric powder. Simmer for 10-12 mins
• Turn off the stove & temper with cumin & mustard seeds using Desi Ghee
