 What is Rasam?

Rasam is a light, fluid, soup-like dish from South India, known for its distinctive sour and spicy flavor profile. It’s typically made with a tamarind or tomato base, along with dal water, and seasoned with a special blend of spices – the Rasam Powder. It can be consumed as a soup, an appetizer, or mixed with steamed rice.

• Authentic South Indian Flavor: MTR’s recipe, perfected over decades, captures the genuine taste of traditional Rasam, balancing tanginess, pepperiness, and savory notes.
• Perfectly Balanced Spice Blend: Takes the guesswork out of sourcing, roasting, and grinding numerous individual spices like coriander, cumin, black pepper, red chilli, and fenugreek. MTR ensures a consistent and delicious flavor.
• Aromatic & Comforting: The blend of spices creates a wonderfully fragrant and warming soup that is both comforting and believed to have digestive and cold-relieving properties in traditional home remedies.
• Convenient & Time-Saving: Simplifies the cooking process by providing the essential spice foundation in one perfectly proportioned pack.
• Trusted Heritage Brand: MTR Foods has been a staple in South Indian kitchens for a century, guaranteeing quality and authentic taste.

 How to Use MTR Rasam Powder

(MTR packaging usually provides detailed recipe instructions. A general guide is below.)

1. Cook a small amount of toor dal until very soft. Mash it and keep aside with its cooking water.
2. Prepare a tamarind extract by soaking tamarind in hot water and squeezing out the juice.
3. In a pot, combine the tamarind extract, chopped tomatoes, and the required amount of MTR Rasam Powder (as per package instructions or to taste). Add salt and a pinch of turmeric.
4. Bring to a boil and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes for the raw taste of the tamarind and spices to cook out.
5. Add the cooked, mashed dal with its water. Adjust consistency with more water if needed. Let it simmer for a few more minutes, but do not boil vigorously after adding the dal.
6. Prepare a tempering (tadka) of mustard seeds, dried red chillies, curry leaves, and asafoetida (hing) in ghee or oil, and pour over the Rasam.
7. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot.

Enjoy as a soup or mix with hot steamed rice and a dollop of ghee.
