    Instant Garlic Rasam

    Mar 20, 2022 · Leave a Comment

    This is a very quick rasam (South Indian spiced broth) to make but very soothing and comforting, and has lovely garlicky flavor! This rasam doesn't require the traditional rasam spice powder. This can be made in about fifteen minutes.

    When you come back after a vacation or recovering from illness, you want something soothing and easy to make. This rasam will not fail you. All it needs is some tamarind paste and Milagu Jeeraga Podi/ Pepper Cumin Powder. I always keep this on hand. You can use store bought tamarind paste or homemade. When you have these two, it is possible to make this rasam in a jiffy and enjoy a tasty meal. Serve with cooked grains, and with veggies or papad. Personally, I love with a sutta appalam aka fire roasted papad.

    Garlic can be adjusted according to preference. More garlic can also be added. When the rasam simmers, smash garlic and fry this ghee and then temper in the same mixture. Pour this on to the rasam and you'll have an amazing aromatic rasam that pleases all your sensory receptors. Won't you love it when such a delicious rasam is ready in 15 minutes for you to enjoy a soothing meal?

    Rasam is our comfort food. I often make rasam with whatever I have on hand and that encouraged me to try the A-Z series of rasams for the Blogging Marathon. So far, I have shared till letter 'H", and here is this instant rasam for 'I'. Here are the links for the recipes shared so far in this series.
