Garlic Rasam


This is one of the greatest winter (wonder) warmers, which my husband, my boys and I have atleast once a week and just love it!!!

The garlic used in this recipe is neither cooked nor fried.  
Fresh garlic is grated on the rasam after the dish is done so it generally does not leave you with a garlic breath…

It is nature’s own powerful anti oxidant as well as an antibiotic.  Therefore it is  also considered to be a “wonder drug”!!!!

Ingredients to serve 6 people

2-3 Pods Peeled garlic
1 Small size Tamarind
½ Cup  HotWater (to soak the tamarind)
½ Tsp. Asafoetida Powder
2 Tsp. Rasam Powder
2 ½ Cups Water
1-2 Tsp. Salt

For Seasoning

2 Tsp. Oil
1 Tsp. Mustard Seeds
Few Curry Leaves
