Homemade Ginger Rasam for Comfort and Health

Ginger Rasam
Ginger rasam is a light, spiced South Indian soup where fresh ginger is the main
ingredient. Unlike thick lentil dishes, rasam is thin and watery, perfect to drink on
its own or serve with plain rice. Ginger gives warmth and a sharp taste, while spices
like black pepper, cumin, and curry leaves add flavor and aroma. It’s often enjoyed
when you’re feeling unwell or want a soothing, easy-to-digest meal.

Ingredients:

Fresh ginger, grated or finely chopped

Tomato, roughly chopped

Garlic cloves, lightly crushed

Black peppercorns

Cumin seeds

Curry leaves

Tamarind pulp or juice

Turmeric powder

Rasam powder (optional but adds flavor)

Mustard seeds

Dry red chilli

Ghee or oil

Salt, to taste

Water
