Homemade Rasam Powder

We r Rasam family!! everyone at home love rasam , store bought rasam powder wont stay for a while for us..i usually prepare rasam powder once a month n they will finish quite within a month too..i follow each n every steps to prepare this powder as my mom used to do..this is my mother's version of rasam powder, mostly peoples used to prepare rasam powder dals n spices but my mom used to add fenugreek seeds and curry leaves to give a fantastic aroma to this powder n we follow this method since a long...This homemade rasam powder goes to Colors of Taste Powders event by Smitha of Kadumanga..


1+1/2cup Coriander seeds
1/2cup Black peppercorns
1/2cup Cumin seeds
1tbsp Toor dhal
1tbsp Channa dhal
1/4tsp Fenugreek seeds
5nos Dry Red chillies
3sprigs Curryleaves
1tsp Turmeric powder

Dry roast one by one everything without oil in simmer except the turmeric powder..let them cool n grind as bit coarse powder with turmeric powder...conserve them in air tightened bottle..serve them as per ur need..
1/2tsp of this rasam powder is largely enough to prepare a bowl of rasam...

    YUM! I love MTR Rasam powder, so I make sambhar powder at home instead of rasam. Looks great, nothing like homemade powder and the aroma of spices! :))

    Hi Priya,

    I have a doubt whether 1/2tsp Cumin seeds is enough or need more. Awaiting ur valuable reply.

    Priya this is the rasam powder that I have been looking for a very long time! It is awesome. I just made it and ran out to my husband after tasting it, too joyful.

    Bless, your mother, bless you for posting it as it is a godsend. I cannot live well without rasam and as I make my own powders now this can be had more often. Thank you again.
