I love making different type of rasam. You can know my love for rasam through this post. I still have lots of rasam recipes on my mind. Will share them all with you soon. My favorite of all those rasam is plain tomato rasam which i am yet to post. We make this simple rasam often and it is my sister's favorite, she can just have this with plain rice and eat it as it is.
This rasam came to my mind on one fine day. I always love adding lots of coriander leaves in my rasam, So i thought of adding crushed coriander seeds to give more flavour to the rasam. And when i added it, i absolutely loved the aroma and enjoyed it to the core. So try this out and let me know how it turned out.
