Rasam Powder(Rasam Podi)
Rasam Powder is a key ingredient for the Rasam which gives the spice, flavor and taste to the Rasam. We make Rasam Powder in bulk quantity and keep it in an airtight container and use it for many months. Making home made rasam powder is very easy. We need to dry roast the spices/ingredients and grind it to powder to get the aromatic rasam power. There are different variations in making the rasam powder.. I am giving the one which is being used by generations of my family.
