Coconut Milk rasam is a delicious rasam with a rich flavor of coconut. Rasam is a warm, soothing soup which can be served as an appetizer or with hot steaming rice or kist as a digestion aid after heavy lunch/dinner. Usually Brahmin rasam we don’t include garlic. Along with pepper-cumin we also add home made Rasam powder. Also in this rasam, we don’t add mashed dal. Coconut milk gives unique flavor and taste to this rasam! Serve this rasam with hot steaming rice along with generous tsp of ghee and relish with some stir-fry Potato Kara Curry!

Tips for making Coconut Milk Rasam:

  1. We added chopped tomato, instead, we can grind the tomato and add.
  2. For coconut milk, we can grind 1/2 cup of grated coconut with 1 cup of warm water, squeeze and then extract the juice.
  3. We can use store bought can of coconut milk too. Take 1 cup of coconut milk, mix 1/2 cup of water, stir well and then use it.
  4. After adding coconut milk do not bring the rasam to boil. Keep in flame till a frothy layer forms on top.
  5. This is a no garlic rasam, if you wish, you can crush few garlic and add it.

with the addition of puli and tomatoes, rasam became like curdled- thippi thippi. Is this how the texture should be? It was not creamy at all.

Oh it should not be curdled. Usually after adding coconut milk, we should not bring it to boil. if we boil for so long or keep in high flame it will curdle. I’m so sorry to hear.
