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.

Ingredients:
Toor dal - 1 cup,
Tomatoes - 4-5 medium ripe tomatoes,
Turmeric - 1/2 teaspoon,
