Inji Rasam/Ginger Rasam

For the seventh day of Blogging Marathon, I ran out of ideas for rasam varieties and just then my SIL came to my rescue;-)When we met their family the other day for dinner ,she was asking me about this marathon and then suggested that I should try this out.Faithfully I did try and I must say that this is one flavourful rasam. Loved the mild flavour of ginger in it.

Boil the dal with enough water in a pan. Add the cut tomatoes,turmeric powder and cut coriander to this and boil well
