This is a very simple rasam which can be made in no time without using any cooked and
mashed dhal as the powder has dhal.I make this rasam when I am in a hurry or want to
have a comforting dinner.This rasam tastes good with rice along with some potato fry or
raw banana fry or some pickle and chutney.

Coriander seed plays an important role in rasam powder.It mostly uses in South
India.The best flavor can be obtained by briefly roasting the seeds before grinding
them..
