Mysore Rasam
One of my cousins used to make different varieties of rasam. I wanted try all the varieties since a long time and atlast I did. This Mysore rasam is very much different when compared to the other rasam varieties as you pressure cook all the ingredients. This is very simple to make and it will be very tasty.
Preparation time: 25 minutes
No of Servings: 4-5

- Turmeric – 1/4 tsp

- Tamarind – 1/2 lemon size(take the extract by soaking in the water)
- Salt – to taste
For Seasoning:
- Mustard seeds – 1/2 tsp

- Coriander leaves – 1 tbsp
Method of Preparation:
- Pressure cook all the ingredients except for 2 cloves of garlic, salt and tamarind for 2 whistles.
