No tamarind No daal, this tangy & spicy rasam is perfect for cold & cough. My son is having a terrible cold since past few days and whenever someone gets sick or suffers from cough & cold I often end up making variety of rasam each day. This is one of them. Pepper Cumin Tomato rasam is refreshing in taste, hence its good for a sick person, who looses his taste sense. Rasam not only helps bring back the taste sense, it is also easy to digest and very filling. Any one can enjoy this refreshing and flavourful dish any time of day as, it can be had as a soup or can be had with rice & poriyal (stir fried vegetable with coconut) or can be had with rice & kootu. It is a very good option for people who follow low calorie diet. As this dish is very nutritious, filling and very low in calorie and not to forget amazingly delicious too.

  • I always make this kind of bundle with half corriander leaves and half stalks, wrap and tie with a cotton thread, wash and add to the rasam and sambar during they are boiling. This gives beautiful flavours to the dish.

  • Add the corriander bundle and around 1 litre water. Let the mixture reduce to 1/4 quantity, on low to meduim flame. This step cooks the rawness in the masalas, so it is very essential.

  • Check the seasoning. If you like more tangy rasam you can add juice of half lemon. I always add lemon juice when I am not using tamarind. This balances and brings out perfect flavours.
