Rasam Rice Recipe | Rasam Sadham – Rasam Chawal with step-by-step photo and video recipe. South Indian cuisine is loaded with multiple rice-based and flavored rice recipes. These are a perfect choice for lunch boxes but are not limited to them and can be used for various occasions and celebrations. One such easy and quick-flavored rice recipe is the rasam rice recipe, known for its texture and filling nature.
I am a big fan of lunch box or one-pot meal recipes. In this category, flavored rice recipes take a significant role. These rice recipes come with a package of rice and curry and do not require any additional side dishes. Hence it makes it easy to pack the meal and also less hassle in carrying. Moreover, this recipe of rasam rice is well balanced as it contains, lentils, rice, and spices to make it flavored and exciting to consume. I make this recipe for my husband’s lunch box, particularly when I am low on options. Also, I have used pre-made rasam powder spice mix which makes it super easy to prepare and serve. Do try to do this next time and I am sure you will love it.
Furthermore, some more related and important tips, suggestions, and variants to the rasam rice recipe. Firstly, I have used a combination of Sona Masuri rice and lentil-based rasam curry. This combination makes it ideal for any South Indian flavored rice recipe, but you may also use basmati rice for the same purpose. Secondly, the rasam is best prepared when it has the combination of tamarind for sourness, jaggery for sweetness, salt, and green chili for spice. I would highly recommend to stick to this combination. Lastly, once the rice is rested, it tends to get thicker and lose its flowing consistency. You may have to add water before reheating it.
