Beetroot Rasam

Beetroot rasam - Preparation time 15 mins
This is my favourite rasam made by mom and its her special recipe. The color of the rasam will be very attractive and pleasant. Till now I haven't tasted anywhere or heard of this rasam from anyone. Try it out it will be very different and healthy.

Ingredients:-
Beetroot:- 1/2 (peel the skin, slice to 1 inch pieces and pressure cook with little water)
Tomato - 1
Tamarind paste - 1/2 tsp
Salt - to taste
Rasam powder - 1 tsp
Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
Cooked toor dhal - 2 tbsp
Red chili - 2 (remove the seeds. When i use red chili i make sure to remove the chili seeds).
Water - Required amount
Cumin - 1 tsp
Pepper - 5
Ghee - 1/4 tsp

Preparation method:-
In a vessel add 1 cup water, chili, tamarind paste, salt, rasam powder, turmeric, chopped tomato, boiled beetroot pieces along with the boiled water and boil till the raw smell of tamarind goes off.
Mix 1 cup of water with cooked toor dhal and mix well. Add this to boiling rasam.
When rasam starts bubbling switch of the flame and transfer to serving bowl.
Garnish rasam with cumin and pepper roasted in ghee (if more health conscious like me then use sesame oil).
Goes well with white rice and Yam dry curry.
