Rasam another staple food in South Indian cooking. ย A very easy dish that can be ready in under 30 mins. ย Today’s recipe is Rasam Powderย which can be made fresh when you need it. When I made the rasam for Onam, I didn’t have rasam powder at home, so I had no choice other than making the powder at home for my rasam recipe at 9pm at night.
I researched the net and asked my mom the ingredients. ย There is everything available in all the Indian stores in the US. ย It is an easy way when you are in a rush and don’t have time to make it at home but here is nothing like fresh masala. ย The aroma and freshness takes the dish to another level.
Try it for yourself to experience it.
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp black peppercorns
- 2.5 tbsp coriander seeds
- 1.5 tbsp cumin seeds
- 1/2 fenugreek seeds
- 6-7 whole dry red chilies
- 7-8 curry leaves
Directions:
Dry roast all the ingredients slightly. ย Let it cool down. ย Using the masala grinder or a coffee grinder, grind the ingredients into a smooth powder. ย You can make in a larger quantity but it is better to make in a small batch to have that freshness every time you use it.
That’s it, your rasam powder is ready. ย Store it in air tight container.
