Mysore Rasam – Mildly spiced delicious digestive Lentil and tomato soup-a specialty of  Karnataka- Southern India

Mysore Rasam is a type of thin and spicy lentil soup which is an integral part of any South Indian meal but is different from the popular sambhar. There are many version of rasam some are made with lentil and some are made without using any lentil . Mysore rasam taste almost like a spicy tomato or vegetable broth.

Freshly ground spice powder(Rasam powder) is added to give a fresh aroma and flavor. Now ready made rasam powders of good brands are easily available in the market so you can use them too. I have also posted the recipe of Pineapple rasam 

Rasam can be served as a appetizer, soup or to serve as an accompaniment with idli, dosa, uttapam or vada.
