Jeera Rasam /Milagu Jeera Rasam with Paruppu Thogayal




Today's recipe is a comforting and ultimate combo,quiet popular in most of the households.Usually this combo is made,the day after a heavy or  party meals as it aids digestion.Also it is considered as a home remedy for cold and cough.Though rasam is a part of everyday meal in South India,this rasam and paruupu thogayal is a divine combo.

This combo is my all time favorite and I make it when no vegetables in stock.In olden days during the monsoon its often made as there were no veggies available.

Coming to the recipe,this simple rasam has so many variations in each households.Some use tomato and rasam powder along with the pepper and cumin powder.This one is my grand mothers version and she used freshly ground spices and a small tomato.In the original recipe,no coriander leaves are used,but for the picture sake I used it.As my kids prefer potato fry with rasam,I served their meal with it.
