    Paruppu Rasam Recipe with Video. This rasam is made using freshly ground spice paste making it more flavorful and aromatic.

    Paruppu Rasam Recipe

    This can not only be served with rice but can also be sipped simply as a broth or a clear soup to soothe a sore throat, especially during the winter season.

    Rasam is a quintessential part of every menu in South Indian cuisine.

    Any lavish lunch spread is incomplete with rasam not being part of the menu.

    There are so many varieties of rasam and as such rasam uses only the basic of pantry ingredients.

    But this paruppu rasam is very simplistic in nature.

    With the onion prices swinging like a pendulum quite often during the recent years, rasam has become a staple now-a-days for lunch.

    Every household have their own version of making rasam and it differs from region to region as well.

    Here I'm sharing the recipe that I make in my home. Hope you all like it.

    Points to note:

    - In my home, we do not add coriander seeds and black pepper corns for making this rasam.

    - But if you wish to use black pepper, then reduce the quantity of red chili to 2 nos and replace it with ½ teaspoon black pepper.

    - After adding tomato pulp and tamarind extract, it must be brought to a boil over low flame so that the raw smell of both the ingredients can go away.

    - But after adding tur dal, the rasam must be brought to a boil over medium flame and it should not be cooked for a long time.

    - As soon as the rasam becomes frothy, it is time to switch off.

    - If you want the rasam to be more flavorful, use ghee instead of oil for tempering.

    You can also check out the rasam powder recipe if you wish to make regular rasam or this quick rasam recipe using sambar powder.
