Milagu Seeragam rasam is a quick instant rasam prepared without dal and rasam powder. Gottu rasam is good for digestion, and a home remedy for cold. Pepper cumin rasam is also a good postpartum recipe for new moms.
I love Amma’s cooking ever since childhood days – till now there are some dishes which I will never get bored of. Sometimes simple and easy preparation tastes good. Milagu Seeragam rasam is one such dish. Amma calls it Gottu rasam.
Rasam is one South Indian rice accompaniment which has many variations. I love rasam and have posted a few rasam varieties in TMF,
During my childhood days I use to think 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.
Not only on sick days, Milagu jeeraga rasam is one default item in our home after any heavy meal. Whenever we go to some functions/events and have heavy meal, Amma prepares Milagu Seeragam for the next meal. This is good for digestion.
Even for busy days this quick Gottu rasam comes so handy. After my kids were born, Amma prepared postpartum special menu for first few months and this Milagu Seeragam rasam is one which 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 gives 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 over-powering cumin smell
- Adjust the Chilli according to your taste
- For postpartum rasam avoid red chilli
- Garlic can be added while tempering
