Rasam powder recipe | rasam podi- Homemade rasam powder with full video and step-by-step instructions.
My mom always makes rasam with homemade sambar powder, so I also follow the same. Even my mother-in-law also makes it the same. But she will add freshly ground pepper and jeera powder to give an extra flavor. But I remember my mom makes separate rasam powder during my childhood days. My Dad is a huge fan of rasam. So she makes fresh Rasam powder every 2 weeks. But after my dad, amma started making rasam with sambar powder only. Still, it will be very flavorful and awesome.
This rasam powder is made using simple ingredients. This stays fresh at room temperature for 2 weeks. I highly recommend not to store this inside the refrigerator as it will spoil the flavor. For making rasam for 4 people, you can use 1- 1.5 tsp of this homemade fresh rasam podi.
