Notes

  1. I have used more tomatoes and less tamarind paste. If you are increasing tamarind, reduce tomatoes accordingly
  2. Always add coconut milk after the raw tamarind smell goes off. Since I used homemade tamarind paste raw smell went off soon
  3. Coconut milk has a mild sweetness so adjust the spice accordingly
  4. Avoid boiling rasam after adding coconut milk, rasam might curdle
