Kalyana Rasam | Iyengar Kalyana Rasam | Iyengar Rasam By Veena Theagarajan

**Most of the time I make rasam with Rasam podi / rasa powder. If I want to make the only rasam for lunch then I make Mysore Rasam. Except for Lemon rasam and Ginger rasam I use tamarind. Last time my helper had swollen legs and she visited an Ayurvedic doctor and he suggested to have food without tamarind she got this recipe from her mum. Later I saw similar recipes from other blogs. The only difference is the masala powder in this, it had rice and I know my mum does use rice while grinding rasam powder. So I have decided to go ahead with her recipe. She normally adds 3 pods of garlic. But I wanted to make this no onion and no garlic recipe so I didn’t add if you want go ahead and add

    Hi, Did you forget to mention tamarind? I tried this rasam and followed your recipe. After tasting decided to add tamarind paste and wow that was super delicious rasam

    My bad, I took 1/2 cup dry thur dhal and cooked it. I didn't notice you have 1/2 cup cooked thur dhal in the ingredients list. I made the rasam second time around with 1/2 cup cooked dhal and didn't need to add tamarind. Can you please mention approximately how much dry thur dhal you used?
