Starting the 4th and final week of Blogging Marathon #66 with Regional recipes.For the regional theme I chose to share some of the Karnataka dishes.Today's recipe is a simple yet comforting rasam.We make rasam in a slightly different way and the rasam powder uses lot of black pepper.Also we grind the the rasma powder to a bit coarse consistency. But this rasam powder doesn't need any black pepper and the flavor and taste comes from the red chilly and coriander seeds.And the powder needs to be powdered to a fine powder.Lets move on to the recipe................                                                                                                                                                                Udupi Tomato  Rasam                                                                                                                                          Basic Information    Preparation time 15 -20minutes     Cooking time
