<li>If you want it on the sweeter side then taste and add 1/2 tsp jaggery.</li>
<li>You can adjust the amount of water depending on the consistency that you require.</li>
<li>I wanted to keep the rasam light like a clear soup, so I only added 2 tbsp of toor dal. You may double the toor dal, if you like it thicker with your rice.</li>
<li>Don't overheat the rasam while serving, otherwise it will lose its refreshing flavor.</li>
<li>You can always adjust the spice level to your taste by either adding black pepper or the rasam masala powder before serving.</li>
