Carrot tomato rasam in instant pot | carrot rasam| ఆరోగ్యకరమైన క్యారెట్ టమాట చారు with detailed photo and video recipe – Rasam is thin consistency spicy and tangy soup from South India, flavoured with special spice mix .. Rasam Powder. It is one of the important part of South Indian Meal and is served as digestive drink before meals. Or, as accompaniment with rice . Every household in Southern India states has their own rasam recipe.
Tomato and Carrot Rasam(Instant Pot) with fresh tomatoes and carrots is vegan friendly.
I make Rasam in winters or chilly rainy evenings, when we relish warm soups. It comforts the body and the spices used in it help to keep the body warm and also enhances the digestive fire .
We love to have Rasam like this Tomato Rasam, sometime I add carrots to it for added nutrition like in this recipe. Rasam also goes well with steamed rice, idlis(Instant Rava Idlis) or Medu Vada. We also love the combination of Medu Vada and rasam.
Health benefits of Tomatoes and Carrots are known to everyone. Both are rich in antioxidants, calcium , beta-carotene,iron(tomato) and Vit A(carrot), with amazing health benefits for all.
Rasam due to it’s highly beneficial effects on body is also considered as a best home remedy fro seasonal cold cough and fever. Trust me whenever my kids suffer fro any of seasonal infections I also feed them food that helps to fight infection.
In this recipe i didn’t add any garlic and ginger . Normally our family we don’t eat garlic in rasam. We can add 1-2 garlic cloves and small ginger piece, in winters as these are good for immunity against cold and cough.
I prepare Rasam at least 3 to 4 times in a week to eat with Lunch /Dinner . My kid drink it just like soup with crusty bread or with any appetizers or with Steamed rice and Papad . It is not going to be sweet because of carrots. Spices and tamarind juice will supress the sweetness of carrots. he spice powder will thicken the rasam . Simple and easy recipe prepared with every day ingredients from your pantry.
