Tomato Rasam

a surefire way to spice up your winter

There’s nothing quite like a hot bowl of tomato rasam to both comfort and lift senses with its tangy, peppery warmth. This South Indian staple is a fragrant, spiced broth that’s both incredibly flavorful and surprisingly simple to prepare. Whether you’re fighting off a cold, craving something light but tasty, or simply want to experience the bright, complex flavors of traditional South Indian cuisine, rasam might just become your new go-to comfort food. It’s definitely one of mine.

P.S. This is a family recipe that was shared with me by a close friend. Her mom’s rasam is 100/10, and I’m grateful to get to make it, and share it with you.
