Homemade Rasam Powder

I love the flavor of South Indian cuisine and
rasam is one of the essential side dish of South Indian cuisine. Rasam is
basically a South Indian soup which prepared with tamarind juice and tomatoes. You
can serve rasam with rice as complete meal. This time I tried to made rasam
powder at home. It gives a fresh and wonderful aroma to the rasam. Making this
spice at home is quite simple and instant.

For this recipe, you have to roast the whole
spices, grind and keep store in airtight jar for making rasam. Roast the each of
the spices listed till they turn aromatic. Rasam is good to improve digestive
complaints and immune functions.
