- You can puree the tomatoes and add too but i want to recreate the one i had in the wedding so added chopped tomatoes only.
- Adding little generous ghee and oil to the rasam sadam brings out a nice aroma to it.
- You can add few cloves of crushed garlic while adding the pepper jeera powder.
- Instead of rasam powder you can use sambar powder too.
