In South Indian Cuisine just like you have Sambhar which is a nice lentil soup with vegetables often had with dosa, idli, utappam, rice…similarly, this Pepper Cumin Rasam is also a delicious curry made with tamarind water mixed with some spices and tempered with cumin seeds, mustard seeds and Ghee. Of course, unlike Sambhar this Pepper Rasam has a very thin or runny consistancy since no lentils or veggies are added that can give a thickness or body to it. But it tastes great and not only you can enjoy it with steamed rice along with some onion and pickle on side, but can also enjoy this rasam as a spiced soup and if you are sometimes feeling low or suffering with minor cough and cold then this rasam is excellent to comfort you when served hot.
