Recipe Description
Rasam is a South Indian soup traditionally prepared using tamarind juice as a base, with the addition of tomato, chili, pepper, cumin, and other spices as seasonings. It is a vital part of meals across South India, known for its ease of digestion and health benefits, particularly in improving digestion and preventing constipation. This vegan version of Tomato Rasam captures the essence of this beloved dish while adhering to plant-based dietary preferences. The recipe is designed to be both nourishing and flavorful, combining the tanginess of tamarind and tomatoes with the heat of black pepper and the aromatic presence of mustard seeds, curry leaves, and cilantro, creating a symphony of flavors that is both invigorating and comforting.
