The other day I went to buy some fresh greens in the morning and on the way I saw this regular vegetable seller selling tomatoes on his cart. Nice fresh red n juicy tomatoes. The seller would not sell anything for less than 10rs so here I was carrying a bag of 2kgs of tomatoes all for just rs.10 !!!!
With so many tomatoes at home all I could think of was tomato rasam and tomato fry for lunch.. And hubby asked me what is this?? Tomato Mania??
The tomato rasam is an easy pessy version.
How I made it :
Boil 4 tomatoes and skin it out and puree them when cooled. For the tempering , heat a little oil and when hot add musturd seeds , hing curry leaves a couple of red chillies. Add a tspn each of coarsely powdered jeera and black pepper and immediately add the tomato puree. Add a pinch of sugar. Add water to get rasam consistency and add salt to taste. Garnish with finely chopped corriander. Boil for a while and your rasam is ready.
