How grand the lunch menu is, a South Indian Thali without rasam is incomplete. Rasam, a soothing and refreshing staple food in Southern India. Hot rice with hot rasam topped with ghee is a dainty dish. The rasam served in Restaurants are always  tasty. The spice of pepper along with flavors of cumin, garlic topped up with tangy tomatoes and tamarind makes the rasam so mouth-watering. We can either mix the rasam with hot rice and consume or we can drink the rasam as a digestion aid after a heavy lunch or dinner. Most of us, especially Souther Indians make rasam as often as a daily basis. Still we all love to have rasam as a hotel style. In this recipe, you can see how to make rasam that tastes like served in restaurant.

Tips for making Hotel Style Rasam

  1. Grinding tomato adds a nice flavor and adds quantity to the rasam. I have used 1 tomato for grinding and one chopped tomato directly to tamarind juice. You can grind both the tomatoes if you like.
  2. Pepper, cumin, garlic and green chili are usually pounded using mortar and pestle. If you prefer grinding then grind these ingredients without adding water.
  3. If you like, you can add a teaspoon of jaggery to the tamarind juice.
  4. Usually dal is not added to rasam in restaurants as dal reduces the shelf life. But if we like, we can cook 2tbsp of toor dal and  add it to rasam before switching off.
  5. Garlic is usually added in restaurant style rasam. But if you don't want to add, you can exclude.

  1. Kollu Rasam: Healthy, nutrition rich rasam! Kollu (Horsegram) is a diet friendly pulse. Kollu helps in weight loss. Hot and spicy kollu rasam is a treat to our taste buds!
  2. Lemon Ginger Rasam, a tasty Rasam fully loaded with flavor of Lemon and Ginger. We don't add tamarind, instead we use just Tomato and Lemon for the sourness for the Rasam. Quick and easy rasam and can be served with any stir-fry vegetable.
  3. Nataraja Iyer Rasam –  From Chef Nataraja Iyer, this is another popular Rasam which are made in the Tamil Brahmin marriages
  4. Pineapple Rasam – Unique and Tasty Rasam with dominant flavor of Pineapple
