EASY PINEAPPLE RASAM
April 19, 2021EASY PINEAPPLE RASAM
Rasam is my comfort food. When I am given a tangy, tasty, and flavourful rasam with some rice that's heaven for me. I don't even need anything to go with it. I just love rasam. If I want to treat myself all I need some perfect rasam, that's all. If I love rasam this much then definitely am available with a handful of rasam varieties for sure, is it not obvious. Yes, I have a long list of rasam recipes. I know you might also have one.
In fact, I can even make a series of rasam recipes. The beauty of my list will the ingredients. Because to make any variety of rasam the ingredients will be almost the same. Just when and we are adding those ingredients makes the difference. And the taste will be completely different. Even if you make each variety per day, you can keep making a new variety each time and you won't be bored with them(Only if you love to eat rasam). And to talk about my family's choice. They are my partners for sure. Every one of us loves rasam.
When I was young I remembered a period of time when I only prefer to have rasam for every single meal. Like from dosa, Idly to Upma. All I wanted was rasam(That might work even now also😉). I guess sometime soon my kids may also reach that stage😂. And my husband is one step ahead he would love to have a cup of boiling rasam just the second once it's ready ( Everyone in his family does that all the time). This pineapple rasam is the top of his favorites in my cooking.
When I first prepared this pineapple rasam I was preparing it every single day continuously at least for 10 days. He kept buying them and I kept preparing them. What is more interesting is I never learned this recipe from anywhere and I had tasted it only once in my life that too was quite a lot of years back. I just prepared it with some assumptions and it really turned out well. I am an expert now in preparing pineapple rasam😎.
As you may guess the recipe is really simple and there are no special ingredients needed except for fresh pineapples. The measurements I have given below will be enough for 3 adults(Or 2adults + 2Children), kindly adjust the measurements as per your requirements.

Fun Facts on Pineapples:
1. Only one pineapple is produced by a plant per season. And a pineapple plant can live and produce pineapples for up to 50years. So that's 50 pineapples in total😉.
2. Actually you can grow a pineapple plant by slicing off the top of a pineapple and planting it in soil. But you may have to wait for 3years at least to get a fruit from it though. That's a lot of waiting😇.
Here is my Paruppu Rasam recipe.
