Tomato Beetroot Rasam

I love any type of Rasam...it's a lovely comfort food for me when I pair it with Rice and serve with roasted papad it's one of the simplest and no fuss meal for me . I try so many types of Rasam which I have learnt from my family and friends but there are very few of them which are my classic favourites and I have already posted them here in my blog earlier, this is the one I have lately tried and absolutely loved it.  I have altered the original recipe a bit but many thanks to Veena Mallya akka for sharing such a simple yet delectable recipe which is so easy to prepare hardly takes me 10 mins for the whole preparation and the flavors here are simply marvellous , the roasted garlic flavours imparts such a rustic flavour that you will be amazed the very first time you taste it , my boys enjoyed their meal and asked for second helping as well. Do try this I am sure your family will love this as much as we loved it .
