Ingredients:

• 4 – Tomatoes, medium sized
• 1.5 – 2 tsp – Rasam powder
• 1/2 tsp – Mustard Seeds
• 1 tsp – Jeera
• 3-4 – Curry leaves
• 1 tsp – Jaggery
• A pinch of Hing
• Salt, to taste

Method:

1. Blend the tomatoes to a smooth puree in a blender. Do not add any water while blending.
2. Boil the tomato puree on stove for about 4-5 mins.
3. Add the rasam powder and boil further for another 4-5 mins. Add water if you feel the puree is very thick.
4. Add salt, jaggery and mix well.
5. You can even add a couple of spoons of grated coconut and chopped cilantro.
6. Since the tomato already has a sour taste, you need not add any tamarind.
