You can see the tomato puree, 1/2 the quantity pineapple pieces, chopped tomato, slit green chillies, sambar powder, turmeric powder and hing in the pan shown below


Pour water up to half vessel


Let the above mixture simmer on slow flames


The rest of the pineapple pieces, blended to a smooth paste


Cooked tur dhal


Mix the cooked dhal and blended pineapple paste


In the mean time, since the pineapple pieces have to get cooked well, keep the pan covered with a lid


Pineapple pieces cooked, rasam level also reduced considerably, now add the cooked dhal plus pineapple paste mixture, add some more water if need be, to the full level of the vessel.


The rasam should only become frothy, it must not be allowed to boil.


Heat ghee in a pan, add the seasoning ingredients mentioned above. and...


pour on top of the rasam.


Cilantro/coriander leaves garnished


Serve this flavorful, piping hot rasam with rice, any vegetable of your choice and some papads.
