Tomato Rasam



Tomato Rasam:



Tomato Rasam is very popular and more so in our family. I prepare this in the way my Mom have always made.  This is the most basic of the rasam recipe and quite simple to make. 



Generally Rasam is the South Indian soup, made from tomatoes, tamarind and other healthy spices like garlic, cumin, pepper corns etc. This goes very well with hot steamed rice or can also be served as an appetizer..!
