I love garlic rasam..we do not add tomato for garlic rasam, but we add garlic to tomato rasam..ha ha..we have lots of recipes for rasam n I made tamarind rasam with garlic for lunch 2day…loved that ragi glass..
I too love garlic rasam, but as Prathibha said, I never tried adding tomatoes to it. Will try your version sometime.
