Rasam Powder

Fresh home made rasam powder gives good aroma and tastes great. Its better to prepare at home and save it instead of ready made one. Previously i used to follow my momz steps to prepare a rasam. And never ever get even a border marks in it from my hubby. My mom used to grind the tomatoes, chillies, garlic, peppercorns, cummin seeds,and coriander seeds with a shallot and pour it to the tamarind juice and prepare the rasam. So by seeing this and grown, at first I too tried this method and failed in it. Then I skipped to the rasam powder given by my SIL. By surprise it came out well. After that using only easy way out rasam power
