APPLE RASAM (INDIAN APPLE SOUP)


I have heard a lot about pineapple rasam but have never tried or tasted it.When my friend Vidhya gave me these Green apples i got this weird idea ... let me try apple rasam though no pine ...hahaha.
I have tried Pickle and vathal out of  green apple , as normally it used to be sort of sour but have never ever got the idea of trying rasam  till i saw a post from one of my friend in FB about betel leaf rasam.
So here is the recipe which i made and it did turn out to be good except for just one thing that the apple was not as sour as i expected ..anyway ...it tasted good even to drink like soup :)

INGREDIENTS:
Green apple-1
Dhal water-2 cup(approximately)
Tomato-1(according to apple taste)
Rasam Powder-1 tsp
Garlic-1 (crushed)
Pepper and Jeera(crushed 1 tsp)
Green chilli-1
Mustard,curry leaf-seasoning
Salt-to taste
Asefotida- little
Turmeric-1/4 tsp
METHOD:
1)Grind apple and squeeze  the juice to dhal water.(other wise rasam will be very thick )
2)Mix the pulp and turmeric,rasam and jeera pepper powder to the dhal water.
3) Heat oil in a pan and saute chopped tomatoes,chilli and garlic.
4)Add the dhal water along with salt and cook for about 5-7 minutes.(add more water if necessary)
5)Season with mustard,curry leaf and asefotida. garnish with coriander leaf.
Serve with hot rice or have it like a soup.It has  all the tastes... little sweet..little sour..little spicy...on the whole YUMMY
Hope u like it...we loved it.. it was different...
