Homemade Rasam Powder

Thursday, November 06, 2008  ,  8 comments

I recently posted about the tomato rasam. Most of time we end up buying the rasam powder from shops. When in India, it was either from my Mom or from my mom-in-law. Sometimes I feel that being away from them makes me learn stuff that I wouldn't have if I was with them.Hmm..I think it is the case with most of us. Is it not?

Rasam Powder

I have been preparing rasam with this powder for a week now and I must say, it tastes like my mother's. Yey! finally! Here is the homemade rasam powder recipe which I learnt from my mother.

Ingredients:

1 cup of Peppercorns
1 cup of cumin seeds
2 1/2 cup of Dhaniya(coriander seeds)
1 cup of toor dhal and channa dal together (optional)

Method:

In a pan, fry all the ingredients till they change light brown.

Allow it to cool

Grind them into fine powder in a blender.

You can store them for a month in an air tight container. Use 1 or 2 spoons of this powder in your rasam preparation. I assure your rasam will taste great and smell awesome!
