Strawberry rasam recipe

Strawberry rasam recipe – An interesting South Indian rasam recipe using fresh strawberries, recipe with full video and step-by-step pictures.

Rasam is a very staple dish in South Indian cuisine. We make many varieties of rasam and I have posted a lot of rasam varieties in Jeyashris kitchen. Adding fruit | and fruit juice to rasam is an interesting one. Usually, we make lemon rasam or Pineapple rasam. I have tried Orange rasam recipe too.

A few years back when I did a cookery demo in London, I made this rasam for the guests who came for the show. We went for strawberry picking the previous day and ended up in picking a lot of strawberries. I made strawberry rasam and strawberry ice cream out of the extra strawberries we plucked from the farm. It was a super hit among the guests. When I saw a bunch of fresh strawberries in the market yesterday, I picked up a bunch to try out the strawberry rasam.

I slightly made it in a different style without the addition of dal water. It turned out super yum and tasted very well with hot rice. If you get fresh strawberries in your place, do try this delicious Strawberry rasam.

Notes

Notes:
1. If the strawberries are very sour add 1 tsp of jaggery towards the end and reduce the tamarind juice.
2. You can add sambar powder instead of rasam powder. In that case, add ½ tsp of coarsely ground pepper powder after adding the strawberry tomato puree.
3. Strawberry rasam pairs well with hot rice and a simple poriyal.
