This rasam does not contain tamarind and is very good especially when suffering from a cold. My husband doesn't like rasam, but when he is sick, this becomes his favorite food!
tomatoes - 2 large
split yellow pigeon peas (toor dal) - 1 tbsp
whole black pepper - 1 tsp
cumin seeds - 1 tsp
carom seeds - 1/2 tsp
clarified butter (ghee) - 1 tsp
mustard seeds - 1 tsp
oil - a few drops
fresh coriander leaves - a few
Method:
Fry red gram, pepper, cumin and ajwain in ghee and allow to cool. Dry grind in a mixer and keep aside. Cut tomatoes and blend into a pulp. Boil tomato pulp and pepper mixture in 2 cups of water. Fry mustard in oil and when it splutters, add to the rasam. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot.

Who doesn't like Italian food? Well, this flavorful, healthy pasta is one of my regular weeknight dinner recipes. Light, yet filling, it is just perfect!
Ingredients:
diced carrots + peas - 1/2 cup
yellow squash (cut) - 1
pasta sauce - 7 tbsp
olive oil - 1 tbsp
oregano - 1 tsp
basil - 1 tsp
juice of half a lemon
grated parmesan cheese - 2 tsp
freshly ground pepper
salt to taste
Method:
Boil pasta, carrots and peas in water until cooked and drain. (Do not use a lot of water, and try not to throw it away - it has nutrients!) Fry pasta sauce in olive oil for a minute along with squash, oregano, basil, salt, pepper and a teaspoon of cheese. Add cooked pasta and vegetables. Stir well for a couple of minutes and remove from fire. Squeeze lemon and serve with a topping of the remaining cheese.
