Garlic Rasam Recipe

Garlic Rasam is one of the very common rasam recipes(with no rasam powder) we often make especially for for those cold rainy days pairing it with rice, rasam, paruppu thogayal and apalam which makes the best comforting lunch  combo! One of the very few recipes I learnt while I started cooking was rasam but still it took almost a year to confidently post it here as I wanted to perfect myself first before I share it to you 🙂 I have already posted paruppu rasam recipe long back, but promise to post more rasam recipes often.
Garlic Rasam Recipe

Garlic Rasam Recipe – Ingredients

Preparation Time : 15 mins | Cooking Time : 20 mins | Serves : 2

Tamarind – 1 small gooseberry size
Coriander leaves – a handful
Salt – to taste

To grind coarsely:

Garlic pearls – 5 small
Green Chillies – 1
Pepper Corns – 1/2 tsp
Jeera – 1/2 tsp

To temper:

Oil / Ghee – 2 tsp
Mustard seeds – 1 tsp
Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp

Garlic Rasam Recipe - Step4

Serve hot with rice and any curry of your choice!

Garlic Rasam Recipe

My Notes:

  • Make sure to boil the tamarind with crushed items for the raw smell to leave. Then just leave for a single rolling boil , dont let the rasam boil for more time thats the main key to make a good rasam.
  • Dont make rasam in iron vessels, it will make the rasam taste change and sometimes bitter too
  • I love eating whole garlic so always add few while tempering.
  • You can even add 2-3 tbsp of cooked and mashed toor dal for extra flavour and thickness

    Yummy!! Just made it and it came out awesome. I left out the green chillies and garlic from the grinding part, but followed other steps. I am going to adopt this method henceforth 🙂 Thanks!

    Hi Sharmilee,
    can we dry roast cumin and pepper?i followed the recipe as it is but found that the spices were not properly ground as they were raw…..why have u not dry roasted the spices….do we need to take them raw only for this recipe….?

      Yes we usually grind the spices raw for garlic rasam…as anyways it is going to boil with other ingredients we dont find the raw smell..But if you prefer you can dry roast and grind cumin, pepper and then add it.

    Hi, Sharmi.

    Thank you so much for your recipe. My husband loves my rasam but he always says there's like something missing but he doesn't know what. Hahahaha.

    I would love to try your recipe but I have no idea what hing is. Can you let me know?
