Pineapple Rasam Recipe, learn how to prepare pineapple rasam with step by step photos. Serve this delicious vegan pineapple rasam with rice and potato varuval for a delicious combo.
To prepare pineapple rasam, we need mashed toor dal just like we prepare paruppu rasam. Do not throw off pineapple core because we will be using that too. Take 5 pineapple slices and chop half of them into pieces and grind the other half to smooth puree. Chopped pineapple bits gives a crunchy taste. Pineapple rasam is very easy to prepare just like any other rasam variety. You can skip mint leaves if you do not wish to add it. You can also serve this rasam as soup.
