    INSTANT THAKKALI RASAM

    Rasam is an Indian soup, it is not only a tasty rice accompaniment but also the best appetizer. Instant tomato garlic rasam is super easy to make, without many ingredients rasam can be prepared within 15 minutes. No dal, no rasam powder for this quick andhra style rasam

    CAN I SKIP MICROWAVe THE TAMARIND?

    To speed up the process, you can microwave the tamarind + water for one minute .instead you use 1/2 teaspoon of homemade Tamarind paste. and prepare rasam.

    SHOULD I USE MORTAR & PESTLE FOR Andhra thakkali RASAM? 

    Yes, it gives the best texture and taste to the rasam. If you don't have it, pulse in the mixie jar. Avoid grinding 

    DO I NEED THIS MANY TOMATOES?

    Yes, the sourness of this rasam is mainly from tomatoes so add little tamarind and lots of tomatoes.

    can I pulse tomatoes instead of squeezing them?

    squeezing the tomatoes is the traditional way to prepare Andhra-style tomato charu. If you pulse tomatoes, the flavor and texture might slightly differ.

    CAN I INCREASE TAMARIND AND REDUCE TOMATO?

    No, the sourness of Andhra rasam is mainly from tomatoes so add little tamarind

    CAN I SKIP GARLIC?

    Yes, garlic is optional but it gives a nice flavor to the rasam. I prefer crushing garlic with pepper and cumin seeds. Instead, you can temper garlic or use garlic powder.

    SHOULD I BOIL THE RASAM FOR A LONG TIME?

    No, avoid boiling the rasam for a long time, always cook rasam till you see a frothy boil then turn off the stove
