Inji lemon Rasam is a quick traditional healthy and tasty Indian soup that can be prepared within 15 minutes and it is also a great home remedy for the common cold, cough, and sore throat.

INSTANT 15 MINS RASAM

Rasam is an Indian soup, a comforting drink. it is not only a tasty rice accompaniment but also the best appetizer. Instant ginger rasam with lemon is super easy to make, without many ingredients rasam can be prepared within 15 minutes. No dal, no rasam powder for this quick rasam.

SHOULD I USE MORTAR & PESTLE FOR RASAM? 

Yes, it gives the best texture and taste to the rasam. If you don’t have it, pulse in the mixie jar. Avoid grinding. You can also finely chop ginger and garlic.

CAN I  USE TAMARIND  for ginger lemon RASAM? 

Tomato and lemon sourness goes well with ginger flavor so I generally skip tamarind for this rasam. If you are adding tamarind flavor might vary.

Can I add red chilli?

Ginger and green chilli spice is enough for the rasam. You can add little red chilli and pepper spice

CAN I MAKE VEGAN elumichai inji RASAM?

Yes, skip ghee and make rasam or you can also use vegan butter.

CAN I ADD DAL FOR RASAM?

Yes, you can add dal but in that case, increase the chilli accordingly.

  2. Avoid boiling the lemon rasam after adding the lemon juice. You can warm the rasam before serving
  3. Make rasam watery
  4. Add lemon juice little by little. Taste then add as required
