Jeeraga Rasam | Jeera rasam | Cumin rasam | Cumin rasam recipe is a flavorful and healthy South Indian rice accompanied with cumin seeds. Cumin seed rasam can be prepared quickly and is good for digestion. Last weekend was a long weekend for us and so we went on a short trip. Had outside food for three days and so Amma suggested this Jeera rasam for digestion. I like the unnave marundhu in Indian cooking. Many spices we use in our everyday cooking not only give a nice taste but are also very healthy. Cumin is one ingredient I use almost in everyday cooking. Usually, after having a heavy meal I prefer pepper-cumin rasam. This rasam with just cumin and a lot of curry leaves recipe Sounded interesting. I have tested it many times but never cooked it. Luckily because of a recent grocery trip, I had curry leaves in my fridge. I am a big fan of easy and quick recipes. When it comes to cooking time, rasam can be prepared within 15 minutes. Soaking of cumin-dal and tamarind might take extra time but if planned before Jeeraga rasam can be made in no time. Like gootu rasam, Cumin rasam doesn’t require cooked dal. It is a great south Indian postpartum recipe variety. Also, the tanginess of jeera rasam is from tamarind so no tomatoes for Jeera rasam. I have seen Amma adding a lot of hing to everything she cooks but while telling me the recipe she explicitly mentioned to me not to add hing for Jeera rasam. Sorry, I don’t know why if you ask me the reason. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3zYDDQHDMSvwrmiDPX9ofACLbaooY-da Rasam is one South Indian rice accompaniment that has many variations.
