Sorry for not posting these many days, i have been a little busy and a lot more lazy. I have been having a busy schedule and it is hard for me to catch with blogging. I will make sure that i post more often soon.

I am sharing with you a perfect rasam that is so quick to make and comes handy whenever you have busy days which i often have. This rasam is my new addition to the rasam list which i have here.

This rasam is so simple, there is no tomato or tamarind in this recipe. The lemon juice gives the sourness which is required for this one. The crushed green chilli gives a unique taste and flavour to this. So please try this and let me know how it turned out for you.


Preparation Time : 5 mins
Cooking Time : 5 mins
Serves – 3 to 4


Ingredients:

Water – 2 cups
Lemon – 1 medium size
Chilli Powder – 1 tsp
Cumin Powder / Jeera podi – 1 tsp
Turmeric powder / Manjal podi – 1/2 tsp
Salt to taste
Sugar – 1 tsp


For Crushing:
Green Chilli – 2
Garlic – 4 cloves


For Tempering:
Oil – 1 tsp
Mustard Seeds / Kaduku – 1 tsp
Cumin Seeds / Jeerakam – 1 tsp
Asafoetida / Hing – 1/4 tsp
Dry Red Chilli – 2 broken


Method:

Take a mortar and pestle and crush garlic and green chillies. Now add that in to a bowl.

Pour in water to make the rasam.

Now add in lemon juice, salt, sugar, chilli powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder and mix well.

Heat a sauce pan. Add in oil and temper the ingredients given for tempering and let it crackle for 30 sec.

Pour in the prepared rasam mix and bring it to a boil.

Once it reaches a boil. Switch off the flame.

    would this soup still taste good by removing sugar and garlic and adding tomatoes?

    Loved this rasam. Very simple to make, and a lovely, unique flavor. Perfect for a winter day or when I’m nursing a cold. Definitely saving this recipe to make often.
