Tomato Rasam Recipe

Tomato Rasam Recipe with easy instant rasam powder that sounds cool right?! I was looking for a Kerala style rasam recipe and this recipe was apt.I loved the fact that this uses instant rasam powder and the flavour was soo good different from our usual rasam recipes.The coconut oil tempering was so good in this rasam, I had this in drafts so thought to post it today.I will post another version of tomato rasam later.

Tomato Rasam Recipe

My Notes:

  • Don’t let rasam boil for more time which will spoil the taste.In specific after dal is added do not boil more.
  • Adding dal is purely optional but gives more flavour.I used one bangalore tomato and one country tomato.Country tomato gives a tangy taste to the rasam.
