Rasam Powder

Rasam Powder
Rasam, chaaru, saaru or kabir is a South Indian soup, traditionally prepared using tamarind juice as a base, with the addition of tomato, chilli pepper, pepper, cumin and other spices as seasonings. This is a dish that is commonly prepared in every household. This is a dish that can be consumed by kids, teens and old people alike. However, preparing Rasam can be a tiring and long process, in the absence of Rasam Powder. Hence, I always prefer having some rasam powder prepared at all times!
