Madras Rasam Powder

#MadrasRasamPowder :
#Rasam tastes very good only with freshly ground rasam powder.

But rasam powder can be prepared & stored for a month or so.
We usually make powder from dhaniya, pepper, cumin seeds for rasam  and also
use dhal water [ Lentil water ].
But in Madras rasam we have taken thuvar dhal [ pigeon pea ] also to make powder.
So dhal water is not needed. Its very easy to make once the powder is prepared.
Rasam can be prepared with either tamarind or lemon.

Tamarind rasam can be reheated and stored in fridge for a day or two.

But lemon rasam taste is different from tamarind rasam and it has to be consumed on the same day.

Lemon is squeezed into prepared rasam only after turning off the stove. So it cannot be reheated.
