Rasam

EverydayCooked

Rasam is a traditional South Indian soup characterized by its tangy, spicy broth made from tamarind, tomatoes, and a blend of aromatic spices like cumin, black pepper, and curry leaves. This light, low-calorie dish is typically served alongside rice or consumed as a digestive beverage, offering anti-inflammatory benefits from turmeric and metabolism-boosting properties from its spice profile. Unlike thicker lentil-based sambar, rasam features a clear consistency and emphasizes therapeutic spices over protein content.
