    Tomato Rasam Recipe (How to make Quick and Easy tomato rasam)

    As you know that Rasam is integral part of South Indian meal. They make it almost every single day.

    As the name says, it is made with tomatoes. The sour, tangy flavor comes from tomatoes only. No tamarind is used here. There is another version called tomato charu (Andhra style) where tamarind extract is used. I will share this version some other time.

    I would like to have this tomato rasam alone like a soup. But it also tastes good with hot steamed rice.

    Here I have used homemade rasam powder, you can use store bought one too. It is up to your preference.

    Now we love rasam at home, so I make it often. I will be sharing more different ones.

    I have already shared two rasam recipes
    Dal rasam // Rasam (simple version without rasam powder and without dal)
