Paruppu rasam
Learn how to make paruppu rasam with garlic, tasty, easy south Indian rasam. Lots of toor dal and crushed garlic together gives a great flavour and taste.
For me, rasam means, I cannot imagine without garlic and coriander leaves,at least one of the above should be there,otherwise I don’t like. This recipe for rasam  is quite unusual one,coz we use sambar powder for this rasam and not the rasam powder! Our sambar powder has chilli, coriander seeds in majority with toor dal in it. black pepper,cumin seeds, methi seeds, turmeric are also added in our sambar powder in traces. So it is very universal, that we add in all our other south Indian preparations. This sambar powder is ground in bulk in mills for an year’s use. I have posted the recipes of my mom’s version and mom in law’s version in case you want to check the ingredients.  My mom makes this once in two weeks at least.we use lots of Paruppu (toor dal/thuvaram paruppu) in this one. I made this today for my kiddo and for the first time he had this…

  5. U know one thing…we use sambar powder for most of the rasam's.when my MIL comes she prepares rasam powder for me otherwise in our house we use sambar powder which is specially made for both the purposes…
    Even I love garlic and coriander in rasam..especially without coriander I cant even think of making rasam..love that flavor a lot..
    and finally coming to rasam,it looks perfect with hot steaming rice,vegetable fry and papad.

  20. rasam tastes delicious only when the correct ingredients are added at the right time. I make with a combination of rasam & sambhar powder but not with Sambhar powder alone. Looks very comforting.
