mysore rasam recipe | south indian rasam recipe with step by step photo and video recipe. basically a lentil based soup, typically served with hot steamed rice for lunch or dinner. this rasam recipe is also served as soup for common cold problems as it is spiced with pepper. typically, rasam recipes are prepared with tamarind water, lentil and rasam powder, however this rasam recipe contains grated coconut too.

while i personally do not prefer any rasam recipes, as i find it too watery to be served with rice. however, to contrary my husband just loves it. especially south indian rasam recipes with coconut is his all time favourite. in point of fact, i learnt all the rasam recipes from my mom in law just to please him. gradually even i started to kind of liking the rasam recipe especially mysore rasam recipe because it is considerably thick compared to other rasam recipes. in addition, mysore rasam can also be served with dosa and idli too which makes my life very easy.

furthermore, i would like to highlight few tips to make ideal rasam recipe. freshly grounded coconut is highly recommend for this rasam recipe. but, i have used desiccated coconut as i do not have coconut grater, also fresh coconut is infrequent in my place.  secondly, after adding the freshly prepared mysore rasam powder, do not forget to boil the rasam for 1-2 minutes. lastly, adding jaggery is optional, however it certainly enhances the taste with the combination of sweetness and spiciness.

finally, do not forget to check my other rasam recipes collection and sambar recipes collection. particularly, udupi rasam, coconut milk rasam, pudina rasam, horse  gram rasam, kokum rasam and sol kadhi. in addition, i would like to highlight my other recipes collections like,
