What is Pineapple Rasam ?

​​Any south Indian family makes the basic rasam with a sweet and sour stock made from tamarind or kokum, but this rasam is made with pineapple juice which is the major flavouring in this recipe. This stock is then mixed with lentils and tomato paste, and flavoured with ground spices and garnished with fresh leaves. Rasam is a south Indian soup that is served with idiyappam or puttu or dosa. It is also served as a side dish with curd rice and sambar rice. The taste of a rasam is different from the regular sambar because of its distinct flavour ingredients as well as the fluid consistency.

    Expert Tips

    1. Toast the spices well before grinding but don't burn them.
    2. Do not overcook the rasam in the casserole, we want it to be a little chunky.
    3. Pay close attention to the tadka as it can burn while frying.
