Pineapple Rasam: ‘Rasam’ plays a phenomenal part in South Indian meal. Rasam literally means the ‘extracted juice’. Ideally, Rasam will be prepared with tamarind extract, the important identity of Rasam is, it has to be tangier with a hint of pepper, garlic, and cumin.

Generally, a South Indian meal starts with ‘Sambar’-a soup prepared with lentils and vegetable, then this ‘Rasam’ and followed by Curd/Yogurt along with steamed rice.

Our family always have ‘Rasam’ for our lunch almost everyday. Rasam, steamed rice with any nonvegetarian gravy is the best combo for a lip-smacking lunch. Summer brings all vibrant fruits, into our home. So before the summer ends, wish to try out all these seasonal fruits and veggie recipes.

It is better to always stick with fresh pineapples for Pineapple rasam recipe, and canned pineapples are big No-Nos. Adding chopped pineapple will not bring out all the flavors of pineapple, so we divide pineapple into two portions. Half portion ensures its flavors and other part takes responsibility for its crunchy texture.

For this recipe, pineapples and tomatoes will bring out all tanginess to the Rasam. Determining the quantity of pineapple and tomato also depends on the sourness of pineapple and tomato. So adjust them accordingly.

This rasam is best to be pairs up Beans Poriyal, Beetroot Stirfry.

    Thanks for the lovely introduction into the place of sambar and rasam in a meal. I was always used to rasam as an appetizer but never had been exposed to sambar before. Learning is always fun! And pineapple rasam sounds delish!
