Meals without Rasam is incomplete. We like to sip rasam as soup too. Whenever we make heavy and spicy meals, we prefer to have this appetizing ,flavourful and aromatic rasam as soup or with a table spoon of rice. Here is the recipe...
Thin tamarind juice 400 ml from a gooseberry size tamarind Salt to taste Pepper corns 2 tea spoons Cumin seeds 1 tea spoon Garlic pods 4 Green chilli 1 Corainder stems 2 tb spoons Curry leaves 1 tb spoon Oil 1 tea spoon Chopped tomato from 1 tomato Mustard seeds 1/2 tea spoon
How to make Simple Digestive Rasam?
Take garlic,pepper, cumin, coriander, green chilli and curry leaves in a mixer jar and powder very coarsely without adding water and keep aside. Traditionally we hand pound them.
Heat a pan with a tea spoon of oil. Saute it with mustard seeds. Once they splutter add the coarsely crushed stuff and stir in medium flame for few seconds. Now add the tomatoes also and stir for a while. Add a pinch of turmeric powder and hing powder. Pour the tamarind juice to it and add required salt. When every thing mixes together and starts giving out bubbles switch off the stove.
