Yes thenga vellam.. When I buy fresh thenga(coconut) I always save the thenga vellam( coconut water) inside. I drink a bit for the nostalgia, the rest get converted to Coconut water rasam.

turmeric powder: 1/2 t spn
oil:1 tbls spn
mustard: 1/2 t spn
dried red chilli:2, broken in to 1/2 inch pieces
coriander leaves: few fro garnish
Clean and wash dal and cook it in 2 cups of water, tillv ery soft. Add the cocony water, crushed garlic, pepper, asafoetida, turmeric and heat. Don't boil.Take it off from fire, before it boils
Do the tadka,heat oil add mustard, then the dried chillies, pour over the rasam and garnish with coriander leaves

Lg: I don't know how to make the proper vinegar( that requires acetification). At home, Ammachi would sieve the coconut water in to a bottle with screw top and add 2 tbl spn sugar, close it and keep for 3 days.. and use that for Pal appam.. U know how karangified we were all after eating her appam???
Sada thenga vellam is enough for this rasam
Maya: what is life without rasam?
Archant: You are welcome
Rp: during summer I would be eyeing the neighbour's coconut tree..
Sumitha: It isn't I had this as a child
