No need of adding tamarind  as if u add tamarind it will become a rasam.But u can add tamarind if u want to.This dish is very light and a well known recipe from our ancestors time of our grand fathers and grand mothers.If it is done with water over the cooked tur daal it is called as kandhi kattu,and if it is done with water above the cooked moong daal it is called as pesara kattu.
