Pineapple rasam in a Bowl with some pineapple pieces

For the month-long Blogging Marathon, I am blogging about a few of my favorite foods from classic South Indian (Tamil) weddings. Pineapple rasam is one such recipe that is often made for the wedding menu.

This pineapple rasam is mostly made for dinner on the reception day. Everything you look for in a good rasam comes together in this Pineapple Rasam recipe. It is sweet, sour and spicy and is perfect to drink as a soup or to eat with rice.

Love to eat this delicious pineapple rasam with fried potato curry and appalam (papad). This rasam is one of my father’s favorite ones and I asked my mother to make it for us now that she is here with us for a few days.
