Tomato/Thakalli Milagu Rasam is the basic rasam recipe that you can make even without any dal. It's one of the comfortable dish to have when you had cold or sore throat and also it helps in digestion, so it's generally included in any south Indian feast recipe to avoid indigestion. Ingredients used in this recipe like cumin seed, garlic and pepper all are used to treat normal cold, so having it gives immediate relieve from the cold.
Now a days lot of rasam powder are available in market, but i felt that store brought rasam powder have lot of spices, so i hardly used them and i make my own rasam powder mix whenever needed.That's why you get wonderful aroma from the freshly grounded spices. Now let's see how to make rasam.

Notes:
  • Dont boil the rasam, switch off the flame immediately when you see the bubbles on the top.
  • If you want, you mashed the tomato and then add. I dont like mashed tomato in rasam , so i prefer this way.
  • Adjust the water based on the sourness you want.
