So let me first give the disclaimer: this is not the very authentic rasam if you are looking for the same. It is a bit modified version of rasam, which I have modified according to my taste (and yeah it tastes good! lol!)
So how to make it and what all you need for it?
Here I have kept it simple and I am gonna share the recipe of the tomato-tamarind rasam. For that you need:
Rasam Powder (easily available in market)
Tomatoes (Here I have take 2 tomatoes),
Tamarind (Around 2 tablespoon),
Mustard seeds (Half a tablespoon),
Asafoetida/Hing (pinch of it),
Garlic (paste of 6-7 cloves of garlic and
Chilies, Curry leaves, Salt, Sugar, Turmeric
The first thing is you have to soak the tamarind in water for some 30 minutes (so that it gets soft and you can easily get the pulp out of it).
Then keep the tomatoes finely chopped.
Now starts the main thing (kidding. lol. it is a very simple thing to make rasam)
Take a kadai, put half a tablespoon of oil, let it warm. After oil has become hot, put the mustard seeds, turmeric, salt, sugar, chilies, curry leaves and the garlic paste. Stir for a while, then add the tomatoes, close the lid till the tomatoes become mushy. After that, add 2 tablespoons of rasam powder and a pinch of asafoetida/hing, and again stir for a while. then now add the pulp of the already soaked tamarind, and add some more water to make it of a runny consistency.
Boil it for some 5-6 minutes with the lid closed. Yeaa!! done! Yes it's that simple :)
It is tangy in taste and also is good for digestion.
Enjoy :)
