This is my basic South Indian style rasam recipe which i learnt from my Aachi.I make this rasam almost everyday without using homemade or store bought rasam powder and dal.Instead i make it with freshly ground rasam powder.My MIL like this rasam a lot & this is my daughter’s favourite Rasam mammu too
.Last year i shared my dad’s
Easy rasam recipe using Instant rasam powder.This is also very similar to that but the ingredients of rasam powder differs slightly.As we are using freshly ground powder,this rasam comes out very flavourful but i tell you it tastes the best when prepared in advance.It needs some standing time for all the flavours to infuse.Beginners and bachelors can also try this recipe.U can make this powder using a small mortar & pestle if u don’t have a mixie.Now lets see how to prepare this yummy rasam recipe.Soon i will post more rasam varieties here.

- Dhania adds flavor to this rasam but it takes some time to lend it.So prepare this rasam at least one hour in advance.U can reheat at the time of serving.
