Have you tasted Indian food item RASAM? Do you like it?

i have not tried this one. as i don't know how to make one. i am interested in international food also. but indian restaurant is not popular in my country. but i am curious as to how this one taste like . seems like a very appetizing menu.

Well Buchi-bulla,i never have it.But i will try it.By your version it seems it is very taste.I will make it tomorrow.Thank you.

yes, I have heard of the curative properties of Rasam but have never tasted it. Actually I feel that we Bengalis have a lot of difference in food habits from the rest of India. I have heard that rasam is both sour and hot and it is this tangy hot taste that cures the body of many illness, including common cold. However, most Bengalis don’t like either too sour or too hot taste and I am no exception. Here in Calcutta I think rasam would be available at typical south Indian eateries but though I love dosa and uttapam, I have never asked for rasam. I don’t even like sambar because of its sour taste…I love the coconut chutney, though!

Buchi Bulla ! Which Indian would not love rasam? I am supposed to make very good rasam and this is a particular favourite of my father-in-law and my son .My son's friends too love this.If thIS friend is a North Indian , he prefers to drink it plain but South Indian friends love having it with rice.As far as Iam concerned I cannot live without it because our staple food is rice and Rasam is a compulsory dish every day.

Rasam is my favorite food item. As you told, it is very good for health and digestion.

I have never tried it before but I will definitely look it up as it sounds very nice. My favourite indian food at the moment is lamb biryani - I get it every time I go to an indian restuarant, then I love naan bread plain and garkic, I also like chapati (roti) and then my next best is chicken korma - all delicious.

no i haven't actually... but it does sound very nice... i might try it one day when i go to an indian restaurant... i might even look for the recipe online and try to make it myself... thanks for sharing this with us... at least i am learning a new food now... :-) take care and have a nice day...

Hi Buchi, I believe rasam is a yummy soup though I haven’t tasted it before. Lol I think I should find out from the Indian stalls or restaurants to see whether there is such type of soup available there. From your description I come to know that rasam is such a beneficial soup to our health. Moreover it’s a good appetizer as well No wonder rasam rice is served when children start to take solid food. I already have a look on the image attached in response #9. I like soup or any other foods with sour taste. That’s why other than vinegar we like to keep some fresh tamarind paste in our kitchen. It’s an important ingredient in preparing many kinds of dishes. Actually tamarind is a leguminous plant. There was one big tamarind tree beside my house in my childhood. I liked eating the fresh ripe tamarind fresh from the tree. Its sour taste that carries some sweet savor is really delicious. It’s a good natural medicine to cure cough It works well if taking the juice when our throat feeling uncomfortable and begin to cough. Happy posting

ya i find rasam to be tasty.though it do not have it regularly due to my north indian food habits but its a must whenever i feel like having a complete south indian diet.its easy to make and has good curative values too.i relish it more as an appetiser.

I never tasted Rasam, what kind is it? I want to try it, but I just don't know can you show me the picture.

as i am an indian i know it much and favourite of it also.i make different rasam recipes in my house. i make lime rasam,tamarind rasam,dal rasam,pepper rasam ,ginger rasam,pudina rasam ,garlic rasam ,tamoto rasam, and i have also heard pinepple rasam, tamoto coconut rasam,mangalore rasam,mysore rasam ,madras rasam,neem rasam,jeera rasam ,apple rasam, curry leaves rasam ,beetroot rasam . i will try these also when i am free as i didn;t made them upto now . u also try all these rasam recipes. and last and final we telugu people make one rasam without cooking. that is called pachi pulusu made from tamarind juice,gur and salt,onion, and red chilli . as u told it is good for digestion and have more healh benefits.and it is used in functions also. if any function is there in my house,i make this rasam also. in winter season we can have hot rasam with rice or without rasam. we can drink it as it removes our coolness in our body. the tempering smell and aroma of rasam powder will sooth our body when we are lazy.

Hi,Buchi,You know RASAM is part of my menu,since my college days.Some how it was habituated to me to have rasam every alternate day or at least thrice a week,may be because it is tasty,easy to swallow and good for digestion[free motion].I love to sip rasam prepared with more masala...[more pepper,mirchi poweder].The best combination for me is rasam and potato fry in case of vegetarian and nutton fry combination wiyh rasn prepatred with tamarind. Happy mylotting.

rasam tastes good u can add katpuravalli thalai to it good for cold we take when we have cold

I've tried many types of Indian food and I really do think they are nice, though the cultire might be a bit strange as they don't use spoons and forks but let's look at the positives of the food. The food is really nice, very tasty, a bit spicey but usually with a great odour of herbs. I really like it.

Dear friend, In our place we have sadhya and we have Rasam moslty along with rice. I like it veryh much as Sabar. For me Rasam is a great combination with rice and it know that it is very good for digestion. If the taste of Rasam is good I would even only need Rasam and rice for my breakfast, lunch and dinner.

hi Buchi__bulla no I have never tasted it but would love 'to . there is an Indian store near by and maybe I could buy the ingredients to make it. sounds like it would be delicious. I will try it and let you know. thanks for the info.

I am indian and i am from chennai. So i am quite familiar with rasam. I love it. Any lunch meal is not complete without a scoop of rasam with rice. But i prefer it in the soup way. Usually i eat rice with sambar and then curd. At last i have rasam in my plate and drink it as a soup since it is good for digestion..

I am from UP, India. When I went to Bangalore about 6 years back, I ate rasam rice for the first time. It tasted good very similar to sambar. I did not know that rasam is good for health as I am of the opinion that sour food is not good for health particularly if you have cold or fever. And I don't think it is the favorite food of 90% Indians as most of my family members have never had it. It maybe the favorite food of 90% South Indians.

My mom prepares this as daily dish. We love this a lot. Its really tasty and she always tries new flavors. Its really helps in our digestion systems and keeps our health cool. Since my childhood its my common dish in my every sit for food.

No, I have never tasted Indian food. I will have to look it up on the internet soon and then if I can make it. I like rice but not my husband but if I it is soup he will eat it.
