Tomato Rasam, Soup From India
I love to eat hot rice with rasam, a popular soup from
southern parts of India.
I sometimes like to drink rasam as a soup. I often
eat, rice and rasam - my comfort dish during winter.
When I suffer from cold, I crave for hot tangy rasam and rice.
Sometimes when I don't have fresh tomatoes, I usually make rasam
with store-bought tomato juice.
Tomato Rasam
340 ml Tomato Juice(I use Campbell's Tomato juice)
340 ml water
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1/4 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tsp grated garlic
1 tsp Madras curry powder
Cilantro for garnishing
In a vessel, heat the vegetable oil, add mustard
seeds. Once the mustard seeds pop, add cumin seeds,
ginger , garlic, crushed red pepper and curry powder.
After one minute, add tomato juice, salt and water.
Turn off the heat once it starts to boil, that is
after 10 -12 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.
Tastes great with hot rice and poppadom.

I love tomato rasam. We have some really nice Indian restaurants here, but I would love to make this at home. The recipe looks wonderful!
Lovely rasam! I cannot imagine a day without rasam and curd for lunch! Nice recipe kumuda! :)
It's finally starting to get cold enough here for it to be soup weather :o)
Yum! That sounds not only tasty, but quick and easy.
I've never tasted this--but I love any Indian veg food and I love tomatoes....so I am sure I'll love it, too.
Rasam-a-rama time!
Who does not like this? It's my hubby fav.Pass me on a steaming hot bowl of tomato rasam please.

I don't like rasam, I'm afraid but my daughter loves the stuff. I have a different recipe, though. A rasam is a rasam by any name.
oooh! love that color! That's a nice way of making rasam...using tomato juice.
Rasam is one of my favorites:)
It's such a great recipe for two simple reasons: tasty and simple! Besides that it is very cheap to prepare! I love Eastern food and this is a very traditional plate in India.
