It has a soup constituency and is usually poured over rice and combined well and eaten. It can also be served as a soup. It&#8217;s spicy, tangy and is very good for digestion and cold. In some South Indian family, rasam is so unavoidable that they have it on daily basis. One of my uncles need rasam for lunch or dinner every single day. Rasam can be made in bulk and kept in the refrigerator for a few days, this way you don&#8217;t have to make it everyday.\u00a0Rasam is purely vegetarian and is made with very basic ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>The other day, I&#8217;d made rasam and served for lunch. My man started sipping it as a soup and him being a hard core non-veggie made a suggestion: &#8220;Next time try adding chicken to the rasam&#8221;. Yup, he loves the hint of meat in almost all dishes. Anyway, his idea sounded interesting and I was tempted to make chicken rasam.<\/p>\n<p>I did add chicken to the rasam and it did taste great. This soup is slightly spicy as crushed peppercorns are added. However, the heat from the peppercorns makes you feel so good and will charge you up instantly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/category\/recipes\/by-category\/rasam-by-category\/\" target=\"_blank\">More vegetarian Rasam recipes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16643\" alt=\"chicken-rasam\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/chicken-rasam1.jpg\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/chicken-rasam1.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/chicken-rasam1-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\">\t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/chicken-rasam.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Chicken Rasam -South Indian Spicy Chicken Rasam Soup<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Soup<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT5M\">5 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT25M\">25 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT30M\">30 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">4 People<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]To grind[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole peppercorns- 3\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cumin seeds- 3\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ginger, chopped- 1 inch<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Garlic, chopped- 1 large clove<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Small onions, chopped- 3<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coriander powder- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cilantro, chopped- 1 handful<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Mint leaves- 6 leaves<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For cooking chicken[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chicken thighs or breast, boneless- 2 thighs or breast, diced small<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Small onion, chopped- 3<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Tomato, chopped- 1<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ground pepper- 1\/8 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Turmeric powder-1\/8 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- to taste<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Water- 2 1\/2 cups<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a pressure cooker, combine the chicken along with small onion, tomato, ground pepper, turmeric powder, salt and water.
