Best with Rice or else just as a warm drink after meal this Rassam Suits everyone with its Tangy spicy taste.



Simple and easy Recipe for this Rassam


Ingredients:

Add water (aprox.1ltr) 4 glasses & let it boil for 5-8 min


At this stage you can remove the big chunks of tomato from this & grind to paste then add it back
(This way you will not get any big chunks of tomato while drinking)

Now add cooked Toor Daal or any other daal & mix just to give it volume this step is optional
Once it starts boiling add tamarind pulp mix adjust salt
Switch off when it gets a good boil. Sprinlke some Coriender leaves

Lastly give tempering: In a pan add Oil the mustard seeds, once it splutters add curry leaves & Garlic add whole dry red chilli & cumin switch off Flame pour this on Rassam
Tempered Rassam is Ready, a good appitizer drink

Note: Adding little salt to the tomatoes will soften them soon later adjust salt accordingly
If you don’t have Rassam powder replace with Sambar powder(I have used Shakti Sambar powder)
