Cheera Chatumbdh (Jeera Rasam)

Cheera Chatumbdh in tamil. This is a very simple type of rasam which anyone can do.
This does not require any dal.


Ingredients


  • 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
  1. Cook the tomatoes directly with a bit of water. Allow it to cool down. Take out the skin and squeeze it thoroughly.
  2. Add enough water to get the rasam consistency
  3. Add salt, tamarind, jaggery, rasam powder and bring into boil, stir once
  4. Add curry leaves and remove from the flame
  5. Heat oil in a pan. Add jeera seeds, when seeds sizzle pour into the rasam
Serve hot with plain rice

  16. 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).
