    I always wanted to try this at home. I don't make rasam everyday, but if I do, mostly it will be with fresh ground masala for that day's use.

    For storing, I buy either Aachi or Sakthi. My MIL grinds and uses for a month.

    Her version is a coarse powder version which has no dal in it. Mom makes rasam powder just for the day freshly like me.

    I saw this recipe in my cook book mom gave me, so wanted to give it a try.

    Last week I tried and it was really good. So wanted to share it here. I will sure here after make my own powder at home.

    Because homemade powder is more flavourful and so unique and smell homely!

      I appreciate that you took time to compile and posting to the web site. I just did Rasam Powder and yet to test. My mother recipe and your recipe matched the item and qty. I will be using this web site to make other item. One suggestion is that .. I want all the powder in one place under Recipe Index. I see only 2 podi in one place and other sambar and rasam powder in one place.

      I thank you for taking your time and making this site good.
