Notes

  1. Instead of grinding, we can just add broken red chili, green chili, ginger, hing and make this poricha rasam
  2. 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.
  3. We can grind the tomatoes and add the pulp instead of chopped tomatoes.
  4. 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
