Pineapple rasam is a special variety of rasam popular in Tamil brahmin wedding meals. Sweet and sour pineapple rasam makes any meal extra special. No tamarind for this rasam recipe.
What is special about the Pineapple rasam recipe?
I add tamarind for most of my rasam, but for pineapple rasam, the sourness is from tomatoes and pineapple. The sweet and slightly sour recipe tastes delicious and can be easily prepared within 30 minutes.
Can I reduce the spice?
Yes, adjust the spice according to your sweetness but pineapple is sweet so to balance out the rasam flavor we need to add spice. For kids-friendly spice, you can add whole green chili.
Can I skip ginger?
Yes, ginger is optional but it compliments the flavor. If you don’t have the ginger powder you can use grated ginger during tempering or cook ginger along with dal.
Can I add garlic to the rasam?
Yes, you can add after tempering.
Do we need to add tamarind for the rasam?
No sourness in the tomato and pineapple is enough for the rasam. Immunity Booster RasamArachuvitta rasam | tomato poondu rasamUdupi Rasam | Udupi Tomato Saaru1 minute Rasam | instant rasam Premix Other rasam recipes in TMF
