Notes
You can use other herbs like thuduvalai, mint leaves etc
Adjust the consistency of the rasam according to your preference.
You can use dal water while making rasam.
I have used only tomatoes. you can reduce tomatoes and add some tamarind for the rasam too.
Tempering in ghee gives nice taste to the rasam. You can use oil if you don't prefer ghee.
