    Rasam idli recipe, with rasam recipe

    December 8, 2016 by Raks Anand 1 Comment / Jump to Recipe

    rasam-idli

    Rasam idli is a fusion recipe served in several restaurants in India as well as households. With a super easy rasam recipe included.

    Though I haven’t tasted this one at restaurants, I came to know about this long time back through my friend Sangeeta. But never tried at home. She used to give this to her toddler who loves it. Last month, when we went to little India and had breakfast at Komala vilas, while I had masala dosa, Vj had this rasam idli. I didn’t taste though. But I thought I should make at home and blog rasam idli recipe.

    I thought instead of linking just idli batter and a rasam recipe and posting, I will post a version of rasam too, which you can make for rice as well. This is very similar to what my mom in law makes rasam. Only difference is the rasam powder, she uses hers, while I used store bought. So what is the speciality?  She adds a dash of fresh coconut milk at the end for extra flavour. I thought this will be perfect for this rasam idli recipe as the rasam has to be flavourful as well as drinkable.

    I say you don't even have to make coconut milk too. When you are making a kootu or have fresh grated coconut, just squeeze a little at the end, to ramp up your usual rasam.
