Make your own Rasam Powder

PrintPDF

Making Rasam powder is always a better choice if you have rasam regularly . This recipe was shared by my mother. Its quite simple and hardly takes any time . If you are making it for the first time I suggest you make a small quantity of it , try it, make the required changes as per your taste and then make lots of it later (as it can be preserved far a long ... long time) . Some people use dried coriander in the powder . But I prefer using fresh coriander at the time of making rasam instead. You can add it in the ingredient list if you want to . It comes handy when there is no fresh coriander available at the right time.

Ingredients :

• Dhaniya (coriander ) seeds - 5 tspn
• Methi seeds ( Fenugreek )  - 1 tbsp
• Black Pepper - 5 tbsp
• Red chilies - 5 
• Cumin seeds ( jeera ) - 3 tbsp
• Garlic flakes - 10
• Asafetida ( Hing) -  1/2 tspn

Method :

• Dry roast all the mentioned ingredients .
• Grind the ingredients to make  a  smooth  powder .

Easy ! Isn't it ?
This Rasam powder can be preserved for around  one year when kept in an air tight container away from moisture.

It can be used in any kind of rasam. You may want to try one of these Rasam recipes - Raw mango rasam , Tomato rasam .
