    Rasam varieties from Tamil Indian cuisine

    Rasam is a popular South Indian gravy, usually with tamarind extract as a base and sometimes made with water and basic Indian spices including cumin and pepper. It is taken with rice and a poriyal/ dry curry or a kootu. It can also be had as refreshing soup. Step by step detailed recipes are given for some traditional Tamil varieties and some unusual ones.
