Rasam Powder / Rasam Podi is quick and easy to make masala powder which is very flavorful. Rasam is a traditional recipe of south India and any meal is incomplete without our Rasam.This is also known as South Indian tomato soup which is made with tomatoes ,tamarind and some spices. My grandma always says that rasam helps in digestion and during rainy season Pepper Rasam makes us feel more comfortable and refreshing . The spices added gives a unique flavor and taste to the recipe. There are lots of variations we can make - tomato rasam, pepper rasam, Poondu rasam, pineapple rasam and lot more , everything has one thing in common i.e our Rasam Powder. Small amount of our rasam powder is enough to make a huge difference, it enhances the taste and aroma of the rasam.

To make rasam with rasam Podi :Heat oil and temper with - mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, dry red chilies, curry leaves, (pinch of turmeric and Asafoetida if required) . Then 3 cloves of garlic and tomatoes , then add a tbsp of our rasam powder and cook for a minute. Finally add tamarind extract, water , salt and bring it to boil. Garnish with coriander leaves and turn off the heat. Our delicious and tasty rasam is ready to be enjoyed with rice.

Notes:
  • From the start till end keep the flame on a low - medium heat, otherwise the spices may get burnt soon
  • Curry leaves adds more flavor to the rasam powder.
  • If you are using solid Asafoetida then roast it for a few seconds after turning off the heat. 
  • Roasting the spices separately helps from burning.
