Mor rasam, buttermilk rasam is a unique variety made with fresh ground spice powder. Step by step photos.
Mor Rasam is completely new to me until a reader asked me to post the recipe. Then I saw a TV show in which they showed this recipe. It was simple enough to give it a try. I tried it for lunch and it tasted good with rice. Its similar to mor kuzhambu preparation, but no veggies and more simple ingredients. You can mix with rice or even you can drink this as such. Its perfect if you plan for a quick lunch, when paired it with spicy curry.

We make mor rasam all the time. Instead of jeera we use ajwain and we dont grind the masala. This rasam is especially very good to have during winter season 🙂

We make more rasam like this, With buttermilk, we add a pinch of haldi and salt,allow it to boil a little and tadka with mustard, jeera, redchillies, hing and vepampoo. Try with vepampoo, it will be divine, also u can add some omum while tempering.
