My mom always make rasam with home made sambar powder, so also follow the same. Even my mil also make it same but she will add freshly ground pepper and jeera powder to give an extra flavour. But i remember my mom makes separate rasam powder as my Dad is a huge fan of rasam. but after my dad amma started making rasam with sambar powder only. But yet it will be very flavorful and awesome.
When a reader asked me for the recipe of homemade rasam powder i asked my mom but she couldn’t recall the proportion for spices she use and finally my sister told the recipe for rasam powder.

wow..homemade is best…
Home made powders are alw the best..
Two tips….
Instead of dry roasting them before, grind them without roasting and add them to the ghee (while tempering).
Try avoiding the methi seeds…..
Thanks, This is the method we follow at our place and hence shared.
