Notes
- Pressuring cooking tomato - tamarind is optional. To save time I prefer this method
- You can use tamarind paste instead of tamarind water
- For extra spice increase pepper
- Green chili can also be used while tempering
- Fenugreek seed is not usually added to the rasam. Considering its health benefits i generally add
- turn off the rasam after seeing the froth to avoid overcooking
- Cook rasam in low flame for nice flavor
- Sambar powder can be used instead of rasam powder. Add 1/2 teaspoon of cumin+ pepper powder in that case
