Tomato rasam

According to me a meal without rasam or sambar is not a full meal. because most of it is water it fills up the stomach easily and also digests soon. Every household has it's own unique style of rasam taste and preperation. I have my own and I like it.

This is how do it:

Give the tadka with

some mustard seeds,

fenugreek seeds(6 seeds),

dried red chillies(5),

curry leaves,

hing/asafoetida

and then Sweat 1/2 onion chopped.

Then add 2 large tomatoes finely chopped and cook them till they get mashed. Add 2tspp salt to them to cook them faster.

Fill the pan with water(about 750ml) and add 2tsp coriander powder, 1 tsp sugar/jagery, 1tsp pepper powder.

Close the pan with a lid nad bring it to boil.

Then crush apod of garlic and some chop some fresh coriander. add these in to the rasam. close the lid immediately to infuse the flavour and aroma.

Have it with rice accompanied by appadam/vadiyaalu/chips

or just drink it in a mug.

Enjoy.
