In this article, I’ll share how to prepare rasam powder at home.
Preparing rasam powder at home takes very little time and effort
It is an aromatic spice blend that is used to make Rasam – a tangy spiced soup like drink from the South Indian cuisine. My rasam powder recipe gives you a robust rasam podi that will bring a lot of flavors and taste to your rasam.
Making homemade rasam powder is always better as you can increase or decrease the spice and pungency according to your preferences. Making homemade spice mixes are so easy, clean and hygienic. There are no preservatives, food colorings or additives added.
Rasam powders can make or break the recipe, no kidding. That’s why homemade rasam powders are so popular with rasam connoisseurs.
