Pineapple rasam- a delicious tangy pigeon pea and pineapple rasam

pineapple Rasam is a very delicious fresh rasam made with boiled mashed tuvar daal and pineapples.It is a very delicious tangy and spicy appetizer drink of black pepper, cumin,tamarind and tomatoes

Rasam is a type of thin and spicy lentil soup which is an integral part of any South Indian meal but is different from the popular sambhar. There are many version of rasam, some are made with lentil and some are made without using any lentil ,taste almost like a spicy tomato or vegetable broth.

A hot cup of  rasam on a cold day is very comforting. Usually it is served with hot steamed rice, sambhar ,papad and a dry curry on side. But it can also be served as an appetizer drink before meal.

Freshly ground spice powder (Rasam powder) is added to give a fresh aroma and flavor but now ready made rasam powders of good brands are easily available in the market so you can use them too.

      Rasam is one of my favourite soups. I've forgotten pineapple rasam, thanks for reminding. I could cook all of your recipes, they are very similar to what we eat daily regarding spicing and simplicity. I'm bad in reading and following blogs, so I'm happy you led me here. I will bookmark your blog.
