Here is the recipe
Ingredients
- 2 medium Tomato (sliced)
- Small lemon size Tamarind (valanpuli / sambar puli) ( soaked in 1/4 cup water)
- 10 Black pepper corns
- 4 Dry red chilli (seedless)
- 6 cloves Garlic
- 1/4 tsp Jeera
- 1.5 tbsp Whole coriander seeds
- A pinch Kayam (asafoteida)
- Salt
- Coconut oil
- 1-2 tbsp Chopped coriander leaves
Instructions
- Fry the dry red chilli for a min. Grind together fried red chilli, pepper corns, garlic, jeera and coriander seeds with 2 1/2 tbsp water (refer notes).
- Heat oil and add ground masala. Fry for 2-3 mins. Add sliced tomatoes and mix well. Cook till tomatoes become soft. Add tamarind pulp and salt. Mix well. Add 2 cups of water and coriander leaves. Let it boil, reduce the flame and simmer for 5-7 mins. Add a pinch of kayam.
Notes
Divs, asked me to coarsely grind the masala, but I almost made it into a smooth paste. The texture of the ground masala was between coarse and smooth.
This rasam is spicy and also the taste of coriander is dominating. Please adjust the measurements to suit your preference.

Hi Maria,
I have tried this rasam, it is really superb. The variation I brought was to make the tomato a paste as my children do not prefer it in cubes also, but all of us enjoyed it.
I have tried your other dishes also very simple and ingredients easily available.
Thank you so much Lali, am so happy to hear that your children enjoyed it :)

i prepared rasam today i dont have words to explain it was awesome
Thanks a bunch Neena dear :)
Hi Maria..our family loves this rasam the most. This is more Telugu /Tamil style and easiest to make with the least ingredients. But a good idea is to just crush(pestle) the masala that you ground; that way it is less pungent :)
Keep up the gud work !
Hi JM,
I didnt know it was more tamil/telugu style rasam, nice to know that. Like you said, my sil also asked me to crush the masala, but since my family likes a thick consistency I opted for a masala paste :)
Thanks for your wishes..
Cheers
Maria
