    Cauliflower rasam recipe, South Indian rasam

    cauliflower-rasam-recipe

    Cauliflower rasam recipe – A flavorful and light rasam which you can drink as such as soup too. With tiny cauliflower florets in it adding great texture and flavour to the rasam.

    I tasted cauliflower rasam in Komala vilas in Singapore few years back. It was flavourful and quite new flavour to me as they had used some spices which I regularly do not add in rasam. In-fact, I didn’t try as I know Vj would not like it. But when I got Indian cauliflower in Little India, I was so desperate to try this cauliflower rasam. Just the tempering is quite different from the regular ones I make, but that is the one which makes this rasam so different from others.

    Inspired after watching this video, though I was not comfortable in pressure cooking, made it my way. I loved it so much as soup, had twice as soup. The best part is it can be had as rasam with rice and had as soup too.
