Curry leaves	few
Cumin	1 tsp
Coriander seeds	½ tsp
Castor oil	¼ tsp
Salt	to taste

Method :-

-------------

1). Pressure cook the kollu with water, turmeric powder, salt and ¼ tsp castor oil. Cook till the kollu becomes soft (check notes). After the full release of the vapor, drain the water for Kollu rasam and set aside.  

2). Heat oil in a pan, add cumin, corriander seeds and saute till aromatic. Then add onions, curry leaves and red chillies, saute till the onions turn translucent. Switch off and let it cool.

3). Add the above sauted mixture with a handfull of cooked kollu paruppu and grind coarsely. Then add remaining kollu and give a stir. Do not add water for grinding, masiyal should be in thick consistency. If required add the reserved water (very little) for rasam.
