    Garlic Rasam Recipe

    You all know that i love making rasam for my meals, because i love the simplicity of it and the fresh taste it brings to the meals. Since it is so hot here, i am not feeling like cooking anything, i just want to hit the kitchen like a storm. So i love to make rasam since it is so easy and take just less than 15 mins to make. I accompany some poriyal with it. Check out the rasam recipes and poriyal recipes which i posted in this blog.

    This rasam is a kind of special one because it has freshly roasted and ground spices in it. Since the dominant flavour is garlic, i love to add a good amount of garlic in it.

Hope you will try it and let me know what you think.

      Rasam looks so appetizing. I am going to give it a try. Tell me something can I just slurp it like a soup or do I need to eat it with rice?

      Sorry having a bit of a moment! What is Rasam? Is it a stock, a gravy, in between?

        Hey! The staple food of most people in South India is rice, owing to the sheer amount that grain is cultivated here. But, as you well know, simple boiled rice is a bit...bland! Ergo, people make a relatively spice-filled stock with vegetables or lentils and so on, and add it to rice in order to enjoy their meal. It is for this reason that you'll find names like Rasam or Sambhar or Kootu in South Indian cuisine which are very difficult to explain! These are merely another dish that you make and mix with rice, which you then gobble up! 😀
        Don't be put you off, though. Some of these dishes are positively brimming with spices and they're utterly yummy. Do try something that doesn't scare you off because of the unpronounceable and hard-to-get ingredients! And, adjust the quota of chillies (either red or green, depending on what the recipe calls for) according to your taste. You might just find something you like! Good luck!
