Moringa Rasam Powder
Rasam is a most popular and a very common dish prepared in south Indian homes on a daily basis. There are lot of varieties of Rasam already posted in our blog like Tomato Rasam with freshly ground rasam powder, Pineapple Rasam, Cranberry Rasam, Selavu Rasam, Paruppu Rasam, Horsegram Rasam

When I brought homemade moringa powder from home, I started adding a little to our normal rasam. Then thought of making Rasam Podi with moringa leaves and it's a hit at our home. As we all know, Moringa leaves are  packed with nutrients and super healthy. If we have access to fresh leaves we can use it in our regular cooking. But when we are outside India and we dont have easy access, the dry powder comes in handy.

If you're used to buy masalas from the store, it might feel like a hectic task to prepare at home. But once we started, we cant resist ourselves from making these at home. Also we can adjust the ingredients as per our liking and preference.

These home made masala powders are filled with aroma, flavour and most importantly no preservatives. Also when we have babies or toddlers, we can easily adjust the spice level when we make it by ourselves at home.

Make sure to roast the ingredients in low flame or else certain spices will get burnt fast which affects the flavor of the podi. 

Ingredients: 
  • Coriander seeds- 1/2 cup
  • Channa dal- 1/4 cup
  • Toor Dal - 1/4 cup
  • Dry Red chillies- 8 - 10 nos (adjust as per spice level)
  • Cumin seeds-  3 Tbsp
  • Black Pepper- 3 Tbsp
  • Fenugreek Seeds - 1/2 Tbsp
