Mysore Rasam | Coconut Rasam | Rasam recipe | tomato saaru | arachuvitta Rasam is a traditional South Indian Rasam recipe. Freshly ground spice powder with coconut makes Tomato (thakkali) saaru so aromatic.

Last week we were out for vacation and I took a small break from TMF. Vacations are always fun that too with family it was good. Random outside food made us miss home food. After returning from vacation we all wanted for some comfort food. Amma prepared rasam, Paruppu thogayal, and sutta appalam. 

Simple quick rasam makes any meal extra special. That day I decided Rasam is my next post. This Mysore rasam was my long time pending post.

MIL makes a tasty Mysore rasam I got so addicted to the rasam taste and learned her version of Udupi rasam. Being a big fan of coconut flavor no wonder this Mysore rasam is one of my favorites. I have seen coconut in Kalyana rasam, this is yet another delicious rasam with coconut.

 

The freshly roasted and ground spice gives a nice flavor to this rasam. Tomato and tamarind give the tanginess for the rasam. A little sweetener added at the end balances the flavor makes it tasty.

Notes

  1. Coconut can be added while tempering and skipped while grinding
  2. Coconut oil gives a nice flavor to the dish but you can make rasam by using vegetable oil/sunflower oil/ghee
  3. Sugar can be used instead of jaggery
  4. For extra flavor, Fenugreek seed can be used while grinding tempering
  5. Soaking dal is optional 
  6. To retain fine coarse coconut texture I have ground the mixture without adding water you can also ground with little water
  7. Adjust the spice according to your taste
