Mysore Rasam - 100 gms

Mysore Rasam podi - an easy way to make Mysore rasam without roasting and grinding fresh masalas. 

Ingredients - Toor dal, dhania, red chillies, black pepper, jeera, koprai, curry leaves, turmeric powder, hing. 

Method - same as regular rasam. Use this Mysore rasam podi - 2-3 tbsp for a small gooseberry sized tamarind. Add more dal than regular rasams. Mysore rasam is usually thicker than regular rasams. My mil sometimes makes garlic mysore rasam. Its really delicious. Method - pressure cook about 20 cloves of garlic with turmeric powder. Add this to the rasam and proceed like regular rasam. Surprsingly, this will not have an over powering garlic flavour inspite of adding so much !
