In Karnataka, a meal is not complete without a hot bowl of "Saaru" or Rasam. The secret to a good rasam is the balance between the tanginess of tamarind and the heat of the spices. Many people use store-bought rasam powder which has too many fillers. Using Flavorack pure Jeera powder and a hint of our Red Chilli powder gives you that authentic village-style taste.

"Rasam is not just a soup; it is the ultimate comfort food for every South Indian."

Always add your spices at the final stage of boiling the rasam. This keeps the aroma fresh. Our dehydrated powders are perfect for rasam because they dissolve instantly and don't leave a sandy feeling in your mouth. Finish with a lot of coriander leaves and a ghee tadka for a meal that will cure any cold or tiredness!
