Normally for making rasam, we need not mash the tomatoes as a juice. But in this recipe we are going to make the rasam in a consistency with which the Pineapple Rasam made in microwave oven can be served as a medicinal drink. So we have to convert the tomato as a juice.

First take a wide bowl that is compatible to cook in Microwave oven. Then add the tamarind paste or solution that you have prepared already. If required you can dilute it with additional water.

Next take out the bowl from oven. Be careful while handling the vessel as it will have late eruptive boiling. As the liquid in the vessel would have reached the boiling point, the oven environment and the bowl will be hot. So use a kitchen napkin or a gloves to take it out.
Now add asafetida to this mixture and blend it by stirring for sometime. Again keep it in microwave oven for a minute and boil it. This is to blend the taste and smell of the asafetida powder. After a minute, you can open the oven and take it out.

Allow this fennel seeds also to pop up. After this you have to add the dry red chilies, coriander/ dhaniya powder, pepper powder, fennel seeds powder and a pinch of asafetida powder. Even though we have added some of these ingredients in the rasam mixture as such, frying these in oil and mixing with the dish will impact a unique flavor to it.
Then you have to add the fried garnishing ingredients to the bowl and let it to cook for about 3 more minutes. This is the final time you are going to keep the rasam in oven. After 3 minutes, dal rasam will be ready. To this you have to add the pineapple juice and let it to set for about 15 minutes.
