Rasam is one South Indian rice accompaniment that has many variations. I love rasam and have posted a few rasam varieties in TMF,

During my childhood days, I use to think of it as kootu rasam. During sick days when I don’t feel like eating anything, Amma prepares this rasam and I will eat rice without any complaint. Milagu Seeragam rasam is so good for sore throat. Unnave marundhu (food is medicine)! This 20 minutes quick Milagu Seeragam rasam is so comforting. https://youtu.be/tCk6MLTxCQA Not only on sick days, but Milagu jeera rasam is also one default item in our home after any heavy meal. Whenever we go to some functions/events and have a heavy meal, Amma prepares Milagu Seeragam for the next meal. This is good for digestion. Milagu kuzhambu Even for busy days, this quick Gottu rasam comes so handily. After my kids were born, Amma prepared a postpartum special menu for the first few months and this Milagu Seeragam rasam is one that happened frequently. Those days she will skip the red Chilli tempering.

Notes

If tamarind has impurities, extract the tamarind extract and make rasam
Tomato can be cut into pieces and added, but mushy tomatoes give nice taste to the rasam
Add cumin pepper powder after the raw smell goes off. Since we don't add many spice powders for rasam it is better to add the powder towards the end to avoid the over-powering cumin smell
Adjust the Chilli according to your taste
For postpartum rasam avoid red chilli
Garlic can be added while tempering
