    Herb and Hemp seeds Rasam

    Mar 19, 2022 · 4 Comments

    This is a simple rasam with lovely herbs and has a nutty flavor from the hemp seeds. The herbs give a lovely aroma and flavor to this rasam. This is a vegan rasam. 

    Herbs add lovely flavor and aroma to food, any food in fact! Simple food with one or two herbs will turn a meal into a comfort meal. Usually, we use cilantro and a little curry leaves as the major herbs in our traditional cuisine. But there are many other aromatic herbs with lots of health benefits. They are not just for herbal teas. Trust me, and ,try this, you'll love this rasam! Oregano, thyme, sage, mint, dill, rosemary, cilantro and curry leaves are used in this rasam. Their quantity is in such a way that they don't overpower but a mild tone of each herb can be tasted in every bite. In total, this one shouldn't be missed at all! 


    I have used oil for roasting the spices and for tempering. Any oil can be used, coconut oil also lends an amazing flavor. If  you are ok with non vegan version, use ghee and the flavors would be amazing too!

    Hemp seeds contain high levels of omega acids and are rich in iron, manganese, magnesium, zinc, vitamin E and B. They are also rich in proteins. This rasam has hemp seeds in the tempering as well in the ground spice mix. When added in both the ways, the rasam has amazing nutty flavor. This is a perfect and soothing bowl of rasam!
    Rasam is a comfort food and the comfort multiplies when you serve with rice. Any grains can be used, but when a steaming bowl of rasam rice is set on the table, it is nostalgic bringing childhood memories of how mom serves rasam rice! Food is always comforting! Any veggie curry can be a great side to serve with this rasam. South Indian Kale Stir-Fry or Podi adaicha Kathrikai or Asparagus and Coconut Stir-fry would be great. I love this a Parupusli or Avaraki Curry too! 
    Rasam is one of our favorites.  So I chose to share amazing rasam recipes in my A-Z theme for Blogging Marathon. This herb and hemp seeds rasam is the next one in line in this series. Here is the list of the rasam recipes I have shared till now.
