Tomato Rasam

     RASAM, so called "South Indian Gelusil". The main highlight in Rasam is the mashed garlic which we use for tempering. For those tempered and crispy garlic, myself and my brother use to fight always. So tasty it will be when its dipped completely in tamarind syrup.

Add required salt and water and mix it well. Keep a pan, heat a spoon of oil. Let us splutter the mustards. Add the slited red chillies and curry leaf. Then pour the tamarind syrup mixture. Allow it to boil for 2 or 3 mins. Put off the flame and add coriander leaf and close the pan with lid.

Oil

METHOD:
     Take a vessel, break the egg and mix with the onion, chilly, curry leaf, pepper powder and salt. Beat nicely until the egg mix with the salt. Keep a pan, add a spoon of oil, pour the beaten content and add some pepper powder over it. Allow it to boil by pouring oil on its side.

Note: Instead of adding ingredients as raw, Fry all the ingredients in a pan by pouring oil. Then add up with beaten egg. This will add more taste.

Potato Peas Masala

     Its my long time goal(!!!) to prepare this recipe. Finally tried this recipe last saturday. It was really good with little high sourness. Its b'cos of extra tomato content. Yes, as i like sour taste, i have added an extra tomato which increased the sour taste. I liked it but dont know whether this taste suits everyone. Other than this, everything was fine. Here mentioned the recipe for normal sour taste.
