Tomato Rasam

Rasam the word itself makes me eat food and soo comforting....

The whole is just mad of rasam. Almost all the days of the week I make.

Again this is from my grand mother's kitchen.

Spice powder is from her kitchen.

Only change is she used to never add tomatoes.

But I always add. It gives more flavour and body to rasam.

This is for 2 litres of rasam.
