It is safe to say that rasam is one of the most basic and essential dishes served with any South Indian meal that is commonly eaten with plain rice and a few vegetable side dishes. It is also enjoyed as a tangy soup that acts as an appetizer. This traditional soup is made with tamarind or tomatoes, aromatic herbs, and spices that give you that warmth with the first sip. Our Lakpura experts have come up with the perfect Rasam powder that can be added to the mix to give that depth of flavour you need to enjoy a hearty meal.
