Notes
1. Mash the tomatoes and make like a tomato puree. Even you can grind the tomatoes but you will miss the tomato chunks in the rasam. 2. Adjust the pepper & chili according to your spice level. 3. Always make the rasam powder freshly and make rasam, stored rasam powder will not taste good as fresh ones. 4. Always serve hot piping rasam.
