Mangalore Rasam Podi, also known as Mangalore Rasam Powder, is a unique and aromatic spice blend used to make traditional Mangalorean rasam. Made from a mix of roasted spices like coriander seeds, cumin, black pepper, and red chilies, this rasam podi adds depth, warmth, and vibrant flavour to rasam, a popular South Indian soup. With its distinctive taste profile, Mangalore Rasam Podi enhances the tanginess of tamarind while adding a hint of spice and earthiness, making it a must-have for an authentic Mangalorean culinary experience.
What is Mangalore Rasam Podi?
Mangalore Rasam Podi is a spice powder specifically crafted to give Mangalore-style rasam its signature flavour. Unlike other rasam powders, this blend brings a richer, spicier flavour, capturing the essence of Mangalorean cuisine. It can be easily stored in an airtight container, keeping the spices fresh for extended use.
How to Use Mangalore Rasam Podi
Mangalore Rasam Podi is versatile and can be used in various ways:
- Classic Mangalore Rasam: Add it to boiling tamarind water with tomatoes for a traditional rasam.
- As a Spice Mix: Sprinkle it over vegetable curries or soups for added flavour.
- In Lentil Stews: Mix it into dal (lentils) for a spiced Mangalorean twist.
With Mangalore Rasam Podi, you can quickly create a delicious, restaurant-quality rasam at home that pairs beautifully with rice or can be enjoyed as a warm, comforting soup on its own.
