Onion Tomato Rasam

Got to taste this rasam by my neighbour and friend Apurupa Jagdeesh from AP. Its a small twist for the usual rasam by adding onion. Easy and quick recipe, an alternative when u have no time to cook any curry or sambar & want something different from the usual rasam. It goes well with papad, egg omelette or any fry.

Ingredients :

• Onion - 1
• Tomato - 3
• Rasam Powder - 2tbsp
• Garlic - 5 pods
• Green Chilli - 3
• Curry Leaves - 1 sprig
• Mustard - 1/4 tsp
• Jeera - 1/4 tsp
• Coriander for garnishing
• Oil - 1 tbsp
• Salt to taste

Method :

• Grind 2 tomatoes to a fine paste. Finely chop other tomato and onion. 
• Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard and jeera. 
• When they splutter, add crushed garlic pods, slit green chillies, curry leaves. Saute for a minute.
• Add onion and saute till golden brown. 
• Add turmeric and chopped tomato. Saute till mushy.
• Pour in tomato puree, required amount of water, salt and rasam powder.
• Let it boil. Garnish with coriander leaves and switch off the flame.
• Serve hot with steamed rice.

Note : 

• Here I have used MTR Rasam powder. U can alternatively add any of your rasam powder. Or add equal amount of jeera and pepper powder.
• For more tangy taste u can add 1 tbsp of tamarind extract.
