Rasam - Quick version
Rasam is one staple food in any South Indian kitchen. There are so many versions of Rasam available. I make Rasam almost every Day as part of our meal. Usually when I make it in this style, I don't do any seasoning. However If you want you can do the seasoning and I have given the ingredients and steps for that too.
This version is something I do when I don't have time. It is shortcut, however it will taste good.

Allow it to boil with covered lid till the Tomatoes are mushy.
Then add the Tamarind Juice and cook for 5-7 minutes or till the Raw flavor of the Tamarind is gone. Garnish with Lots of Coriander Leaves.
