Mysore Rasam - a rasam for special events in Tamil Brahmin kitchens :)
My disdain for rasam is really as strong as my passion for sambar. Actually, I'll happily give rasam a skip at family lunches and wedding ' elai sappadu ' (blueberry leaf meals) - to possess a double helping of sambar grain. But there's one exception for this rule - Mysore Rasam. This is among the three dishes which are named following the city Mysore, another two being Mysorepak and Mysore Masala Dosa.

Some soups within the rasam family are known as 'Saaru' in Karnataka cuisine parlance, that one, despite being from Karnataka continues to be known as rasam. It is filled with flavour in the freshly ground spices, and also the dal (lentils) within the spice mix, helps make the rasam somewhat thicker than its watery counterparts. Both my mother and grandmum get this to rasam frequently. When there's Mysore Rasam around the menu, there's no sambar, and rasam will get the positioning of star from the meal.
I'm somewhat lazy to create this frequently because of the roasting and grinding of spices, plus basically'm cooking for just one, it's an excessive amount of effort. To sort this out, I prepare the whole masala succumbed the recipe and employ 1 heaped spoon approximately, should i be causeing this to be only for myself. The remainder may be put away within an airtight container within the freezer.
This rasam recipe will get my double thumbs up, which is an ideal warming dish for that winter nights. Steaming hot grain, capped with a lot of rasam, a spoonful of ghee that melts immediately if this hits the new rasam-grain, available with a decent potato roast curry - this really is bliss.
The bottom with this recipe is cooked tur dal, and also the quickest method to prepare this really is while using pressure oven. If you're a beginner prepare, you might find this video useful regarding how to prepare dal.
