Rasam

Veg Vegan

Thin peppery tamarind broth — a watery, intensely spiced preparation of tamarind, tomato, black pepper, cumin, and curry leaves, drunk as a digestive, thinned over rice as the second course of a South Indian meal, and served as a soup. Chettinad milagu rasam uses a freshly pounded pepper and cumin paste for full heat.
