Rasam powder / rasam podi ( homemade )


My mum like to prepare her own rasam podi at home. She always keep her rasam podi  handy for daily use at her kitchen. She kept the podi into an airtight jar and used more frequent,for 2 to 3 weeks. I'm being using my mum version rasam podi for my all type rasam even for crab rasam. It's always had our tastebuds exploding with delights. My kids always asked second helping to drink after rice. 


According to my mum's knowledge whereby her mum(my grandma) taught her that having together with curry leaves with its sticks while toasting those spices for rasam podi were good remedy for fever and cold. Therefore, I would like to share my family version recipe to ladies out there....

Without any delay, here is my mum's version rasam podi recipe.....

Black pepper - 2 tsp
Coriander seeds - 3 tsp

Heat an heavy pan.On slow fire,dropin all ingredients into pan and roast until slightly changing colour, few popping and aroma were lingering around your house. Immediately drop those roasted spices into a plate to cool down. The spiced were changed color to more darker if left in pan after switched off the stove. Then, get start to grind those roasted and cooled spices until 70% fine powder. Let them to cool down again before store into clean and dry jar. Airtight container makes spices to last long and remains with aromatic.
