Mysore rasam recipe, rasam with fresh ground masala. Learn how to make this flavouful rasam with step by step pictures.
I have tried once mysore rasam from a cookbook when I started learning cooking. And it came out terrible. I thought that is how that rasam tastes. When ever I eat out in restaurants and have rasam with coconut, I always liked it and wondered what the recipe could be. But after few years only I realized its mysore rasam and it is supposed to taste great!
When Jeyashri posted it, I immediately told her she has to make it for me when ever I go for lunch to her home. Well I have few recipes like that, to make for me and got lucky to taste too. I know she is a great cook, so I never miss chance to take advantage of a friend who is a great cook / also she being a food blogger, its very easy to demand her the recipes as she posts.
So when we planned, planned planned and at last met for lunch at my home, we had a mini potluck. Yeah, you are right, potluck for 3 of us – me, Jey and Nags. I made arachuvitta sambar (with avarakkai), medhu vadai and carrot beans poriyal. Jey bought this mysore rasam. Nags bought eggless lemony cake with chocolate frosting which me and Aj loved a lot. So we had a great time with lots of chatting and then a lunch break then again lots of chatting…until we said bye…actually until the lift doors closed…. And coming to the rasam I have a old cookbook with me that had the exact same recipe, so I tried the same way. It came out really flavourful.
