ONE POT Rasam SADAM

Pressure Rasam sadham is super easy to make and tastes delicious. With a few tips & tricks, we can make flavorful, properly cooked South Indian-style kollu Rasam rice.

SHOULD I SOAK RICE?

Yes, always soak rice as it helps for perfect cooking. If you are soaking for a few minutes, use hot water. For overnight soaking, you can use cold water.

CAN I ADD  SALT WHILE COOKING kollu rasam sadham?

I prefer adding salt after pressure cooking rice. Salt added before might affect cooking.  

TAMARIND quantity?

It depends on the tomatoes’ sourness; adjust accordingly

HOW MUCH WATER SHOULD I ADD WHILE COOKING RICE DAL?

It depends on the rice you use. The number of whistles also depends on the rice you use. For mushy Rasam sadham, I would recommend 4 whistles and mash well after the rice is cooked

SHOULD I USE A MORTAR & PESTLE FOR RASAM? 

For proper kollu grinding i prefer grinding in a mixie jar. 

WATER after pressure cooking kollu rasam sadam

It depends on the the preferered rice texture, also the way you mash the rice. Cold water might turn lumpy, so if you are adding water to alter rice, always add hot water
