The name Rasam is derived from Sanskrit रस; transliterated: rása meaning essence.
Rasam (Till Saaru / Charu / Saathumadu) is a traditional South Indian soup made with tamarind juice as the base with specially prepared Rasam powder made with a variety of ingredients like pepper, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, chilly powder etc., to get the rich aroma and taste.
This home-made rasam powder made by a maami, a wife of a purohit in a temple in Tenkasi District in Tamil Nadu gives a soothing feeling and warmth to the throat, acts as an appetizer, enhances digestion and above all tastes very yummy when had with rice or when you drink it as soup.
Like South Indian Sambar, the Rasam is also an everyday dish that is made in almost every South Indian home. South Indians make rasam in so many ways with ingredient / process variations. Rasam is also considered to be an immuno-booster.
