Cranberry tomato rasam

Rasam is an Indian soup, it is not only a tasty rice accompaniment but also the best appetizer. When cranberry is in the season try this healthy flavorful cranberry rasam.  Rasam tastes best with hot rice and poriyal, varuval, and kottu varieties

Do I need this many tomatoes?

Yes, the sourness of this rasam is mainly from cranberry and tomatoes. Based on your cranberry taste adjust the tomatoes. if you like tamarind flavor adjust tomatoes accordingly.

Should I pressure cook tomatoes and cranberry?

Pressure cooking tomatoes is optional, but I would recommend pressure cooking cranberries for the best rasam taste and texture.

 

Can I add dal to cranberry rasam?

Yes you can add dal but in that case, increase the spice powders accordingly

Can I skip garlic?

Yes, garlic is optional but it gives an amazing flavor to the cranberry tomato rasam. I prefer pulsing garlic with pepper and cumin seeds. Instead, you can temper garlic or use garlic powder but pulsed garlic gives the best flavor to the rasam.

Should I boil the tomato cranberry rasam for a long time?

No, avoid boiling the rasam for a long time, always cook rasam in low - medium till you see frothy boil

 

Can I make vegan Thakkali rasam?

Yes, skip ghee and make rasam  with oil or you can also use vegan butter

Can I skip ginger and sugar?

No to compliment cranberry flavor never skip ginger and sugar. you can use freshly grated ginger instead of ginger powder.

Can I use rasam powder?

Yes but in that case adjust the pepper and chilies accordingly

Can I skip freshly crushed pepper?

Freshly crushed pepper gives amazing flavor to the rasa, but if you don't have a pepper mill, use pepper powder or add extra pepper  while pulsing
