More ginger !! So Rasam has only dal water and no dal, is it ? And can you please tell if we need to add Rasam powder ? I bough a packet of MTR Rasam powder once.
Pardon my ignorance

Hi Kajal,
Thanks for visiting. Keep visiting Thanks.

Hi Maheshwari,
Thank u so much.

Hi Sandeepa,
For this ginger rasam no need for Rasam Powder. If you want your rasam to be clear, always use dal water. or take 2 tablespoons of cooked dal and dilute it with water and use for rasam. Thanks.

Hi Meena, ISG
Thank u very much for your kind words.

Hello MT! We all enjoyed your ginger rasam heartily. I usually make Chandra Padmanabhan's recipe from Dakshin (grinding etc.,) and yours is simple yet tasty. Can I request for pomegranate rasam, please?

Hi latha,
Glad to note that you and your family enjoyed rasam. I will try to post pomegranate rasam soon.

I made ginger rasam today and it was great. I did not garnish rasam with ginger juice as i thought it will be too much gingery. otherwise i followed ur recipe to the tee and it was great. thanks a lot.
