Rasam Powder | Charu Podi | Saaru Podi


Rasam Powder
Rasam powder or charu podi is a main ingredient in making Rasam. This powder makes rasam flavorful & aromatic. It's believed that spices used will help improve digestion. There are different recipes for a rasam powder & I'm sharing the rasam powder recipe I borrowed from my mom.
