We are huge fans of this series of fruit rasams now. The balanced taste of sweet, spicy & tangy rasam makes it best appetizer in your menu. It is very easy to make which will be ready in no time. It makes a perfect refreshing drink for cold evenings after a busy working day. You can serve it with hot steamed rice as well. The fruits you can use to make this rasam other than pineapple are carambola (star fruit)/ lemon/ orange/ kokum rind/ hog plum/ passion fruit/ wild mangoes if in season.
In today’s post I am sharing the recipe of flavorful
and delicious pineapple rasam which you won’t stop with a bowlful.
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Serves: 4

Method:
Peel off pineapple and chop into fine pieces.
Take water in a thick bottomed vessel.
Add pineapple pieces, salt, jaggery, turmeric and
chilli powder/ green chillis (or both if you like spicy rasam).
Boil everything very well so that fruit is cooked.
Switch off the stove.
Prepare a rich tadka or tempering of cumin, mustard
and dry red chilli in coconut oil. On spluttering, add cleaned curry leaves and
add the seasoning to the rasam.
Serve this hot rasam in bowl to drink or serve with
