This Mysore Rasam Recipe is another famous dish from Karnataka Cuisine. The speciality of this rasam is we add coconut, grounded along with other spices which make the rasam little thicker, so we can call this as Arachuvitta Rasam Recipe too. Another speciality is Byadagi Chilli / Mangalore Chilli, which lends a unique flavour and it is a must ingredient for this rasam. A simple Paruppu Thogayal or Potato Fry or Raw Banana Fry goes well with this rasam. Also, I have shared this South Indian Rasam Recipe With Coconut along with step by step pics and a short YouTube video too, If you like the video, please Like it, Share it and don’t forget to subscribe to my channel.

Notes
Tips for Arachuvitta Rasam Recipe
1. Adjust chilli and Peppercorns as per spiciness preferred for this Mysore Rasam Recipe.2. Instead of taking tamarind extract, 1 tsp of ready-made tamarind paste can be
mixed with 1/2 cup of water.
3. Always roast the ingredients in low flame, else it gets burnt and the rasam smells bad.
4. Use fresh coconut only for a good taste. But in case, you don't get, desiccated coconut can be used.
5. You can also prepare this Mysuru Rasam Powder in bulk and store it in a clean jar, it stays good for 20 days. But roast the coconut well, till dry and ensure there is no moisture.
6. Use Byadagi Chilli only for roasting and tempering, which lends a unique flavour for this rasam.
7. I recommend ghee for roasting and tempering, which gives a wonderful flavour. But if you are calorie conscious, oil can be used.
8. Always prepare the rasam in low flame and just give one boil only.
9. Never boil the rasam for more than 2 minutes ( 1 boil only at last ), as the flavour will be lost.
10. Addition of jaggery, in the end, enhances the taste of this South Indian Rasam Recipe with Coconut.
