Method for making Inji / Ginger Rasam:
In a pan boil tamarind juice with chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder and salt.
Peel off the skin of ginger and mash it with a hammer or heavy object and add to the boiling tamarind juice. (If you grind ginger and add to rasam, it will give very strong flavor which you may not like)
Let it boil till the tamarind juice becomes half in quantity. By the time the essence of ginger would have blended well.
