Pepper Rasam and Potato Masala-Rasam Recipes-Aloo Recipes

November 23, 2015 33 Comments

Fact: Pepper rasam is great for a sore throat. I had a terribly sore throat last weekend and roaming around entire day Saturday for a friend’s birthday, didn’t help it much. Sunday morning, I felt all crappy and grumbly. I started craving hot pepper rasam right about then. There were no vegetables in the house and we were too lazy to go out and get any. That’s when the potatoes came handy. Quickly whipped up a lunch of pepper rasam, potato masala and rice. I have also shared my MIL’s version of pepper rasam recipe for those of you who want a Brahmin-style rasam recipe. You can also find an easy instant tomato rasam recipe here, or, just browse all rasam recipes to find your favourite.

Pepper Rasam Recipe

Ingredients for Pepper Rasam:
Tamarind paste – 1 tbsp
Freshly ground peppercorns – 1 tsp
Garlic – 5-6 cloves, freshly pounded
Rasam powder (I am currently using MTR) – 1.5 tbsp
Water – as required
Salt – to taste
Fresh coriander leaves – for seasoning
Curry leaves – one strand

How to Make Pepper Rasam:


1. Heat oil and temper with mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds. I love the smell of fenugreek seeds as they are roasted. Make sure they are not burnt at this stage. Add the garlic and fry for a minute.

2. Then add the curry leaves and the rasam powder, fry for a good 2 minutes.

3. Add necessary amount of water and when it heats up, add the tamarind paste and stir well. When the water boils, add the pepper.

4. Don’t boil for too long. Add salt, remove from fire and season with coriander leaves.

Pepper is ideal when we have a bad throat or a cold. I always crave rasam when I am feeling feverish. With rice, its not really a favourite.

Potato Masala-Aloo Masala Recipe

I made it exactly the way we make Kerala egg curry. Boil the potatoes and add it on just you do with the eggs. We love that gravy and though its not the best combination with rasam, we still enjoyed it.

    I tried the recipe with 4-4.5 cups of water+2 green chillies chopped fine….yummm!! I was going to leave some for my fiancΓ© to have or at least taste…but it was so good that i had it all! I tried your Restaurant Style Butter Masala and everyone thought it was better that what they serve in restaurants! Similar results came from your cucumber raita recipe. Thank you… i was some one who never cooked before and with the help of you and my mom i have now discovered a new passion πŸ™‚

    What a wonderful thing rasam is! I used your recipe but I also added some lemongrass and lime.. It was fantastic. On the side I made a middle eastern potato and onion stew that mom always makes. I love your website and your recipes. Thank you so much for sharing.

    I think this rasam should be called as sore throat pacifier πŸ™‚ I too make this rasam whenever sore throat is around in the family…potato curry looks awesome. I was reading your first tour abroad on Singapore, enjoyed that post v much.

    Nothing like Pepper Rasam for the sore itchy throat. Have you tried rasam with Kollu(horsegram) supposed to suck the cold right out!. Potato Masala might not but Potato Fry works great with rasam though.
