Ingredients
  

  • 3 Tomatoes(Medium)
  • 1 Beetroot
  • 7-8 Curry Leaves
  • 1 tbsp Tamarind Pulp
  • Fresh Coriander Leaves for Garnish

Spices

  • 1-2 tsp Cumin Seeds

Instructions
 

  • Wash, peel and cube beetroots.
  • In a pressure cooker, boil beetroot to 4-5 whistles.
  • Meanwhile, dry roast coriander, black pepper and cumin seeds. I used freshly ground pepper so didn't roast with cumin and coriander seeds.
  • Wash and cut tomatoes roughly.
  • Once done, cool the pieces and blend with tomatoes and ginger to fine puree
  • In a pan, heat ghee/oil. When oil is warm enough add mustard seeds .
  • Once the seeds crackle, add curry leaves, whole red chilli and asafoetida.
  • Next add coriander and cumin powder. Add black pepper powder too.
  • Saute for few seconds then add tomato beet puree and 2 cups of water.
  • Add tamarind pulp, salt and mix.
  • Let the cook and come to boil.
  • Cook it for 3-4 minutes.
  • Serve hot garnished with lots of fresh coriander.

Notes

I used boiled three beetroots and pureed. Took out 2 tbsp for rasam, pureed tomatoes with it and kept the rest for later use.
