    Tomato Rasam without Dal and Tamarind | Tomato Rasam

    Tomato rasam or tomato saaru or tomato charu is a very popular dish in South India. A simple, comforting and yummy dish to have at any time of the day. This tomato rasam is a perfect blend of tomatoes and spices.

    Paired with rice, a simple vegetable fry and papad tastes fabulous. You can also serve it as an appetizer or soup. 

    This tomato rasam is so simple, even a novice can make it. If you have rasam powder and tomatoes in hand you are good to go. Don't have rasam powder? No worries, I have shared the recipe for making the instant rasam powder below. Let's see how did I make it.
