Drumstick Rasam, How to prepare drumstick rasam using homemade rasam powder

Rasam is also called charu in Telugu, saaru in kannada prepared using tamarind pulp, tomato and with rasam powder. Veggie which we can add in rasam is drumstick. Drumsticks cooked along with tomato and tamarind juice gives good sour taste. Today I am using Homemade Rasam powder which is very flavourful and tasty.  I used boiled toor dal in this drumstick rasam which makes rasam so tasty and healthy. 

  Today i had drumstick rasam with rice, boiled toor dal, Ghee/mudda pappu and neyyi(in telugu).  Rasam is must in South Indian meals, and that too drumstick rasam is very tasty. My dad loves to drink rasam, it cures cough, cold and makes  digestive system free. As the spices used in rasam powder, we can prepare rasam powder freshly while preparing rasam.
