Udupi Tomato Rasam/ Udupi Saaru
I always wanted to make this upupi style rasam or as they call saaru. Its called in telugu the same way too. I love the flavor of dhal dominating this rasam and it uses very less tamarind and absolutely no garlic and yet the flavor of this rasam is very good. I had this with brinjal fry and beans usili, it tasted so good. So posting this recipe to A-Z Blogging Marathon conducted by srivalli and also linking to preeti space. Under alphabet "U" & this comes under My last regional category recipe.
