Having bored of concocting usual tomato rasam with tamarind??? Lets make this simple and delicious rasam without tamarind only with rich flavor of tomatoes and rasam powder. After a great feast for any festivals or house events we make lots of grand dishes and the next day we feel to take rest. Those days,I always prefer to do this Poricha Rasam and serve with sutta appalam.
Ekadashi & Dwadashi:
Ekadashi fasting is observed on every 11th Tithi in Hindu calendar. There are two Ekadashi fasting in a month, one during Shukla Paksha and another during Krishna Paksha. Devotees keep strict fast on Ekadashi day and break the fast on next day only after sunrise. Eating of all type of grains and cereals is prohibited during Ekadashi fasting.After the Ekadashi, the next day is known as Dwadashi day. Because of the whole day fasting on Ekadashi, our body might have build up some acidity so on dwadashi day, we have to cook very gentle menu. Generally we make More kuzhambu, Poricha Rasam, Agathi keerai Poriyal or Poricha Kootu, nellikai (Gooeberry) Pachadi.
Not only for Dwadashi, we can make this yummy and simple Poricha Rasam anytime. Its a sathvik food (without much spice or masala or dominating with tamarind) and hence so good for health. Lets see how to make this Poricha Rasam.

Notes
- Instead of grinding, we can just add broken red chili, green chili, ginger, hing and make this poricha rasam
- Adding jaggery enhances the flavor. We can add 1 tablespoon jaggery at the end which will bring out the tanginess of tomato and makes the rasam even more tastier.
- We can grind the tomatoes and add the pulp instead of chopped tomatoes.
- Rasam should not boil for long time. After adjusting water and adding tempering, let the rasam be in flame till a frothy layer forms on top and then switch off the flame
