To make tomato rasam, set a pot over high heat & add oil into it, once the oil gets hot add in the red chillies, mustard seeds, curry leaves & garlic, stir well & cook briefly.
Further add asafoetida, tomato, salt & coriander stem, stir well & cook until the tomatoes get mushy.
Add turmeric powder & tamarind pulp along with hot water, stir & cook for 3-4 minutes until the raw smell of the tamarind is gone.
Then add the cooked tur dal, green chilli & jaggery, stir & then add hot water to adjust the consistency, rasam is always watery, it is not as thick as sambar.
Let the rasam simmer for 7-8 minutes, if it thickens up then add more hot water to it.
Once you have let the rasam simmer, add rasam powder to a bowl along with a few tablespoons of water, stir well until no lumps remain & add the mixture to the rasam & stir well.
Taste & adjust the salt at this stage & add crushed black peppercorns along with fresh coriander, stir & cook for 2-3 minutes.
Your delicious & super healthy tomato rasam is ready.
