Pineapple Rasam recipe | sweet and spicy rasam recipe with step by step photos and video recipe. spicy, sweet and tangy rasam recipe with pineapple, tomatoes and spices.
It is a twist to the traditional rasam recipe and is too good for rice and can be even had as a soup. pineapple adds up a distinct flavour to the regular rasam.
I first had this pineapple rasam at a sadhya meal served in a wedding. i tried imitating it by adding chopped pineapples and it did not give out the flavour of pineapple as the dal and tamarind and other spices overcome it.
If you are looking to cook something different with pineapple apart from the pineapple pachadi, pineapple madura pachadi, pineapple moru curry or the very usual pineapple kesari.
