Peppered Tamarind Broth Preparation

1. Cook tamarind pulp in 3/4 cup boiling stock off the heat for 15 minutes. Stir & mash with a fork to dissolve. Strain through a fine strainer into a bowl, pressing on the solids with the back of a wooden spoon to extract all the liquid. Set aside. 2. Toast the coriander & cumin seeds in small skillet over medium heat about 2 minutes. Grind in spice or coffee grinder to somewhat coarse grind. 3. Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots & cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic & ginger & cook for 2 minutes. Add ground coriander & cumin, black pepper & fenugreek & stir 1 minute. Add tamarind liquid & remaining stock & bring to simmer. Simmer 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat & season to taste with salt & sugar. 4. Heat oil in small skillet over medium heat. Add chiles & mustard seeds & cook, covered, until the mustardseeds pop, about 2 minutes. Stir into soup & simmer 2 more minutes. Remove from heat & let stand 10 minutes. Serve in small cups, garnished with cilantro.

This spiky tamarind broth, called Rassam (which simply means broth) is of South Indian provenance. The recipe was given to me by a dignified elderly Tamil man we encountered on an agternoon stroll through the Indian quarter of Peneng. This is a soup that is supposed to be drunk rather than eaten with a spoon, so offer small cups of this delicious brew to your guests before proceeding to dinner.
