Tomato Carrot Rasam

I am sure most of you would have tasted tomato rasam. But did you try Carrot rasam? My daughter is a big fan of carrots and would eat them in any form. So i thought i would try adding some carrot to the rasam that i was planning on making for the day. But while i was cutting the tomatoes she eat up half of them and i was left with few tomato slices and a bunch of carrots. So i thought why not try them together. I pressure cooked carrot and tomatos and pureed them and made rasam out of it. One of my friend stopped by that evening and she was having a very bad cold. So i offered the rasam to her like a soup and she loved it and made my day..
So here goes the recipe.

Tomato -1
Carrots -3
Pepper
Tamarind
Salt
Ginger
Rasam Powder
Curry Leaves
Urad Daal
Jeera
sesame seeds
Crooiander Leaves.

Pressure Cook the Carrots and Tomato and puree them in a blender with the tamarind. Cut Ginger into small pieces. Heat oil/butter in a bowl. Add the curry leaves, urad daal, jeera and the sesame seeds. To this add the pureed liquid. Add salt and rasam powder. Let it cook till the liquid boils.
