DRUMSTICK RASAM

June 22, 2016 by Nithya Leave a comment

Rasam is a thin lentil based gravy with spices and tomato with or without tamarind extract.In my house rasam is an integral part of the daily menu and is my comfort food as well.It is really wholesome and flavourful to have hot rasam on steamed rice with any curry and homemade ghee poured on top of the rice.I usually make Tomato Rasam or Jeera Rasam and on weekends Lemon Rasam Or Mysore Rasam.As it is a thin gravy or soup,it is light on the stomach yet filling. Though I am fond of rasams ,I have not tried unique variety of…

Rasam is a light gravy with or without dal served with rice for main course.I prepare rasam daily at home and it would be either Tomato or Dal Rasam varieties.I have been hooked to this Orange Rasam ever since I saw the recipe on a T.V. show and was determined to do it until a load full of oranges came from my husband’s friend who owns a farm.I made some recipes using these oranges which turned super delicious.This rasam variety is not only tempting but appetizing as well.When you have guests over, you can even serve it as an appetizer…

MYSORE RASAM

VEPAMPOO RASAM/NEEM FLOWER RASAM

Rasam as we all know is served as the second course next to sambhar or any other thick gravy,is a slightly thin soup. Rasam is usually made from tamarind pulp and a mixture of spices.This veppampoo rasam is made of neem leaves.Though the leaves have a bitter taste you won’t feel it when roasted.We make it once a week in our house.Neem leaves are good for diabetes and certain stomch disorders.Nowadays neem leaves are available in the market,but those having neem leaves in their backyard have dual benefits.Both neem leaves and fresh air will fill their homes.Let’s see how it…

I first tasted Bonda soup at a place called Halli mane the famous hotel here.I didn’t know though how it would taste since i have never heard of a thing called bonda soupIt is a most popular snack variety here in Karnataka..Well it is not soup actually but Bondas soaked in yellow lentil gravy similar to rasam but with no tamarind.I have this peculiar habit of trying things at home after tasting them outside somewhere, so i tried it at home.It was a huge hit.I Should thank my hubby here for he is also a great foodie like me takes…
