Tomato and Garlic Rasam(Tili saaru)

Tried and tasted by Nivedita

Hi all,

Tomato is my all time favourite. I love its color. It is so essential in almost every recipe, I always keep tomatoes in my fridge. Any type of soup or rasam with tomato is always welcomed by my taste buds. This is one recipe, usually my mom makes. It tastes great when she prepares it.

Here is the recipe,

Tomato – 2 medium

Garlic – ½ bulbs peeled and freshly crushed (if it is big. We get big one in UAE, if taking Indian, 1 full bulb)

Curry leaves – few

Mustard seeds – 1 tsp

Jeera – 1 tsp

Methi seeds – 1/2 tsp

Sugar – 1 tbsp

Salt to taste

Chilly powder – 1 to 2 tbsp or as per taste

Lemon juice – ½ tbsp

Oil 1 tbsp

Fresh coriander to garnish.

Heat oil in a vessel. Add Mustard seeds, and then add methi seeds and jeera.

Now add crushed garlic and curry leaves. Fry till garlic becomes slightly brown.

Then add chopped tomato, chilly powder, salt and sugar. Let it cook till tomato starts leaving oil. Now add 2 cups water and let it boil for 10 min.

Add lemon juice, just before switching off the stove. Garnish with coriander.

Servers for 3.
