what is tomato rasam made of?
  1. See the below image of list of ingredients for making tomato rasam.

how to make rasam powder
  1. To make quick tomato rasam, in a small nonstick pan, add ½ tbsp chana dal (split bengal gram). Chana dal adds a unique aroma and slightly thickens the rasam. It also adds a bit of nuttiness to the flavor.
  2. Add 1 tsp coriander (dhania) seeds.
  3. Add 1 whole dry kashmiri red chilli, broken into pieces. Kashmiri chillies are less spicy than other types of red chillies, but they have a richer flavor. This makes them ideal for rasam powder, which should be flavorful but not too spicy.
  4. Add 1 pandi chilli, broken into pieces. Pandi chillies add a significant amount of heat to rasam.
  5. Add ½ tsp black peppercorns (kalimirch).
  6. Add 1 tsp cumin seeds.
  7. Add ¼ tsp asafoetida (hing).
  8. Dry roast on a slow flame for 4 to 5 minutes or till they release flavour, while stirring continuously. Keep aside.
  9. Remove in a plate and allow it to cool slightly.
  10. Blend in a mixer to make a smooth powder. Keep aside.

how to proceed to make tomato rasam
  1. Heat 2 tsp ghee in a deep pan.
  2. Add ½ tsp cumin seeds.
  3. Add 2 tsp crushed garlic (lehsun). Crushed garlic adds a pungent, flavorful kick to rasam. It also helps to balance the other flavors in the rasam, such as the sourness of the tamarind and the spiciness of the chillies.
  4. Add 2 round red chillies (boriya mirch). 
  5. Add 10 curry leaves (kadi patta). They add a unique flavor and aroma to the dish that cannot be replicated with any other spice.
  6. Add a pinch of asafoetida (hing).
  7. Sauté for a few seconds.
  8. Add 1½ cups roughly chopped tomatoes. Tomatoes are the main ingredient of the rasam. Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
  9. Add salt to taste.
  10. Mix well and cook on medium flame for 8 to 10 minutes, while mashing and stirring occasionally.
  11. Add ¼ tsp turmeric powder (haldi). 
  12. Add the rasam powder.
  13. Add 1 tbsp tamarind (imli) pulp. Tamarind pulp is a naturally sour ingredient, which gives rasam its characteristic tangy flavor.
  14. Add 1 tbsp jaggery (gur). It adds sweetness, depth of flavor, caramel notes, and overall balances the flavours.
  15. Add little salt to taste.
  16. Mix well.
  17. Add 3 cups of hot water.
  18. Mix well and cook on medium flame for 5 to 8 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
