Tomato Rasam Recipe / Thakkali Rasam Recipe

My all time favourite is this rasam, even though i have made lots of varieties of rasam and shared it here, still my favourite is tomato rasam. I make this quite a lot of ways but this is my favourite and fail proof recipe.

Similar Recipe,
One Pot Tomato Rasam
Garlic Rasam
Pepper Rasam
Coconut Milk Rasam
Andhra Tomato Rasam
Many More

This is so easy to make.. The main thing you have to keep on mind is ” never boil rasam so much” once it comes to boil and you see a foamy layer formin over it, just turn it off and add a bunch of coriander leaves. Next thing is always keep the rasam bowl of pan covered till you serve it. Because then the aroma can escape..Keep this two thing on mind and i am sure you will make the perfect rasam always..

Tomatoes – 1 medium size chopped roughly

    Hey ! Rasam came out really well Thanks for the recipe ! ^^ ! But i was wondering why do you add sugar to most of your recipes ? Also it kinda gives sweetness to the dish ! Do you have any reason why ?

    I have made rasam before but using the rasam powder we get to buy from grocery stores.
    Luckily for me, today i was out of rasam powder but i had all the other ingredients. And as lazy as i am, i ddnt want to go out and buy rasam powder and searched for recipes.
    I cannot thank you enough for sharing this wonderful recipe. I swear i will be using this recipe for making rasam from now on. The aroma the taste, it was heavenly. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe… Lots of love
