pineapple-rasam-1

Rasam is something which my family likes all the time. We do prepare it almost 5 times a week. As I said before in my previous rasam recipe posts, I have many types of rasam recipes at hand which vary very slightly in its preparation.

Making Pineapple rasam was in my to-do list right from the day when I started blogging. But, I do remember that only when I taste it at any of the Indian weddings and at Hotel Saravana bhavan. I prepared it at home this time without fail using the left over pineapple rings after making this pineapple kesari.

I added pineapple chunks in my usual rasam preparation and also added ground pineapple to enhance the taste, flavor and look.

Notes:

1) You can also use finely chopped pineapple chunks for making this rasam. Try to choose sweet pineapple for making this rasam.

2) You can also use ready to use rasam masala instead of freshly grinding it. I always prefer freshly ground masala for perfect taste and flavor.

3) Increase or decrease the water quantity as per your personal preference.

When and where is the urad dal added? I assume it's added with the mustard for spluttering?
