MYSORE RASAM

September 2, 2014 by Nithya Leave a comment

Mysore rasam is one of the flavourful and refreshing rasams of the many varieties of rasam we make.As we all know rasam is served as the second course in the south indian menu next to sambhar.Unlike other rasams this one is a bit thicker and richer because of the spices roasted and grounded,mixed and simmered to perfection.I usually make it for dinner as an accompaniment with rice and serve with fried papads/applams.Piping hot rasam with steamed rice with dollops of homemade ghee is truly divine to eat.It is a normal practice to make this rasam during functions and festivities but…
