Notes

  • Drying - You can even sundry it until crisp and powder it that is how my grandmother used to make. Amma says roasting the ingredients gives a nice aroma and increases shelf life too.
  • Roasting - Roast it in low medium flame, make sure not to burn the spices. No oil needed while roasting.
  • Texture - You can also grind rasam powder little more coarse.
  • Quantity - The above quantity makes around 3 cups and it lasts upto 6 months for us.
  • Cooling - Make sure to cool down completely before you grind. Then spread it on a plate cool down completely then store in clean dry jar.
  • Usage - You can even use this powder for making any vegetable curries if you like pepper jeera flavour.
