Rasam is an extract of spices and tamarind water. In the South Indian states, rasam is prepared differently by different communities. My recipe here is a Tamilian brahmin style of rasam that is made without garlic or onions. Another distinguishing characteristic of the Tamilian style of Rasam is the use of dal water. Toor da is boiled and once the dal settles to the bottom the water from the dal on top is used to flavour rasam. Other ways of making rasam use water instead and also flavour rasam with garlic. The tadka or tempering in a rasam is always done in ghee esp with Iyers and it gives a great tasting rasam. In olden times the rasam would have at least 1cm of ghee floating on top of it but long gone are those days as more and more people are conscious of calories. Rasam Powder recipe is simple and should be made fresh every time you cook. Rasam is best served with appalam or papad. Also Rasam Rice is very popular as a meal. It is also believed that rasam is much older than sambhar. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I am Chef Kunal Kapur and this is my space, my channel.
