Tomato Rasam

Tomato Rasam is one of the South Indian Rasam. Its like a thin soup, tangy and Spicy ( depending on your taste). We can substitute the tamarind water with more tomatoes and little bit of lemon juice .(add the lemon juice if you are substituting for tamarind after taking of from the heat .). Very Easy to make and quick .It is a favorite of many.
