Cheera Chatumbdh (Jeera Rasam)
August 09, 2007
Cheera Chatumbdh in tamil. This is a very simple type of rasam which anyone can do.
This does not require any dal.
- Tomato - 2
- Water
- Tamarind juice - 2 tsp
- Jaggery - small piece
- Salt to taste
- Rasam Powder(Malaka pudi) - 1-1/2 tsp
- Curry leaves - 1 stalk
- Jeera seeds - 1 tsp
- Oil - 1/2 tsp ( for tampering / tadka)
Method
- Cook the tomatoes directly with a bit of water. Allow it to cool down. Take out the skin and squeeze it thoroughly.
- Add enough water to get the rasam consistency
- Add salt, tamarind, jaggery, rasam powder and bring into boil, stir once
- Add curry leaves and remove from the flame
- Heat oil in a pan. Add jeera seeds, when seeds sizzle pour into the rasam
Serve hot with plain rice

Hi Sia
Cut the tomato in 2 halves and cook it directly with a bit of water after a few minutes allow it a cool down take out the skin and squeeze it thoroughly.
I prepare the rasam in the same way except I add hing and sometimes dal.

Hi vanamala, just came across u'r awesome website... Felt really nice reading some of the authentic iyengar recipes, esp named authentically( eg: cheera chatumbdh, karimbdh etc etc) Being an Iyengar myself, had lost touch with those terminologies for a while. Thanx for rekindling emotions(good ones).
