Chutney Powder
Chutney powder can be a side dish for anything. Rice, chapati, rasam, upma, idli, dosa, curd rice, etc.
Okra Sambar
Okra, known as ladies’ finger in many english-speaking countries, is rich in dietery fiber, vitamin C and vitamin K. Vegetables and pigeon peas are cooked together in traditional sambar. okra makes the sambar slimy if you cook it with pigeon peas. So the key is to saute the okra till it no longer is sticky!
Sambar Powder
The key difference in sambar powder with rasam powder is the addition white gram and cinamon, and removal of cumin seeds and black pepper. Bengal gram thickens the sambar, but also reduces the spicyness, so we need to add more dried red chillis to counter this.
Rasam Powder
The essence of rasam powder is in the combination of right amount of spices.
Pepper Rasam
Pepper has been used for decades in treating cold and flu. It is commonly reffered to as the “king of spice”. So why not make something tasty out of it and get rid of that itchy throat.
