Udupi Tomato Rasam/Tomato Saaru


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................

As my family loves cauliflower,so it appears in my kitchen frequently in some form.I tried this cauliflower curry without tomato and used yogurt and cashews paste.The result was such an awesome and creamy curry. The chilly powder I used was bit spicy so the curry was in the spicier side so squeezed some lemon juice in the end.So adjust the spice level according to your family preference.Lets move on to the recipe.........                                                                                                                     ...
