This is also served as a soup at some restaurants. However, in South India this is usually served as a side curry along with rice, it is poured over rice and is combined with it. Since it&#8217;s spicy and tangy this curry gives a good kick and helps to open up the senses. Hence, this is good to have while having cold and also helps in digestion.<\/p>\n<p>One of my favorite ways of having rasam is by combining it with rice and fish curry, tastes phenomenal.<\/p>\n<p>Rasam is made differently at different places, I&#8217;ve tried a few versions of it and so far this is the most delicious rasam I&#8217;ve ever tasted.. One of the main ingredients that gives \u00a0rasam its tangy taste is tamarind.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Rasam recipes that I&#8217;d posted before<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/tomato-rasam-soup-or-spicy-and-tangy-tomato-soup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tomato Rasam<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/how-to-make-sadya-or-keralas-flavorful-veggie-palatte-onam-sadya-recipes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Easy Rasam<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Recipe Courtesy: Vahchef<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15790 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/rasam.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/rasam.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/rasam-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/rasam-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Preparation Pictures<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cooking rasam<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15791\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/making-rasam1.jpg\" alt=\"making-rasam1\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/making-rasam1.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/making-rasam1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/making-rasam1-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>After adding the tempering<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15792\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/making-rasam.jpg\" alt=\"making rasam\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/making-rasam.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/making-rasam-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/making-rasam-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/rasam1-475x200.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Rasam Recipe &#8211;
