Lemon Rasam Recipe aka Elumichai Rasam Recipe with step by step pics and a short Youtube video. If you like my video, please share it and don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to my channel. It is also Nimmakaya Charu in Telugu and Kannada. This is slight watery (thin) rasam but definitely gives a soothing, warm feeling to the throat, if you have a cold and flu. I have used ginger in the recipe, so it can be called as Lemon Ginger Rasam, as all of us know both the lemon and ginger increases the immunity against coronavirus, also this is a must in my home every alternative day. This is the easiest one of all the rasam recipes as it can be prepared within 20 minutes and pairs well with hot rice and beetroot stir fry and papad. If interested, check my Tamil New year / Vishu recipes here…

Notes

Tips for Elumichai Rasam Recipe

  1. Adjust Chilli's and peppercorns as per spiciness required.
  2. I used ginger in grinding, it can be replaced with 3 to 4 garlic flakes. But don't use ginger and garlic at the same time.
  3. Tempering in ghee lends a wonderful aroma. But for the vegan version, do the tempering in oil.
  4. Add hing and coriander leaves generously for an excellent flavour.
  5. I used homemade rasam powder, but it can be replaced with sambar powder or both the powders can be skipped.
  6. Always boil the rasam in low flame, else it loses its flavour.
  7.  Never give more than one boil, or else the rasam wont taste good.
  8. Always switch off the flame and then add the lemon juice, else the rasam turns bitter.
  9. Also, lemon can be replaced with lime too.
  10. The dal settles at the bottom in the rasam, therefore stir every time before use.
  11. Never re-heat this Lemon Rasam Recipe otherwise it tastes bitter.
