Rasam powder recipe, learn how to make homemade rasam powder that you can grind in mixie and store in bulk.
I always wanted to try this at home. But buy either aachi or MTR. 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. 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!

Rasam powder recipe, learn how to make homemade rasam powder that you can grind in mixie and store in bulk.
Servings 1 cup
Cup measurements
Ingredients
- ¾ cup Coriander seeds
- 20 Red chilli long variety
- ¼ cup Toor dal
- ¼ cup Chana dal
- 3 tbsp Black pepper
- 3 tbsp Cumin seeds
- ½ tsp Hing
Instructions
- Dry roast red chilli,hing (if solid. Refer notes), channa dal and toor dal first until dals are golden in colour. Roast in medium flame with constant frying. Transfer to a plate for cooling and then roast coriander seeds and pepper until fragrant.
- Once the coriander seeds is roasted well, it lends a great flavour. Now add jeera lastly. Fry until it starts popping. Cool everything completely.
- Powder it to a fine powder in a mixer and store in an airtight container.
Notes
- I used solid hing so roasted along the ingredients together. If powder, you can add it towards end while roasting to prevent burning.
- Can be stored for a month if handled properly in an airtight container.
- If you want you can add turmeric in this powder. I add turmeric to rasam only if needed.

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.
Nice post. Could you please tell the difference of the Rasam powder and the Sambhar powder . I feel the ingredients are same for the both. Expecting the reply ASAP.
Will be better if similar measuring units are mentioned. Can make comparative ideas. How does cup equate to tblspoon?
