Though I dont maintain a regular dairy, I have always made it a point to pen down my thoughts and there are lots of collection in it. Hereafter I think I could make this my personal diary to talk loud my personal thoughts.
Some might say that diaries are personal, but my personal diary is not so and I wish all those who go through it share their thoughts about mine.
Thanks in advance for visiting my personal diary.(Virtual).

A special Rasapodi
Posted 25th October 2007 at 02:16 AM by rajmiarun
This is the recipie given by my grandmother. She is a great cook and I love her Rasam very much. The rasam tastes so good and at night when she mixes rasam sadam and puts it in our hand, we all will have a race to eat it fast so that the person who eats it first could get more. I am yet to try making this podi. Infact, the secret could be Kai Manam also but still I want to share the secret behind the rasapodi with you all.

2. Dhania (coriander seeds) - 1/4 Kg

| |  Hi Lata, Thanks. Let me tell you something I am yet to prepare that rasapodi. I prepare the one which my MIL had given me as my husband is used to it. But defnitely I am planning to make it once my current stock is over. But you need not wait till I prepare that podi, you are most welcome anytime to come for lunch or dinner as per your convinience. If you give me notice I will prepare something good. If you come just like that it could be even Milagu Jeera Rasam with Sutta Appalam. |

| |  hi rajmi, I for one can vouch that the rasavandi from your grand mothers recipe tastes divine..because i make the rasa podi this way..but only difference is i fry each ingredient..dhania..kai porukum sudu...turdal until it emanates that fried smell, ..... and coarsely grind it in mixie..i make small quanitities only...just blog all recipes yaar...so that i can compare... |
| |
| | Rajmi, When convenient can you post a recipe with pachathakkali? I have eaten a pitla long ago, taste still lingers. Could never recreate that magic. Also, any special vatahlkozhambus, please. I am the recipe monster. I will try almost any and all recipes. No hurry, good work- your blogs all over. |

| |  dear rajmiDear Rajmi, Even as I was reading the recipe I could smell that it was going to be THE RASAPODI. I will make it and see.Thank you dear for sharing this recipe withnus. love mithila kannan |

| | Hi Shanthi, I really wonder, how I missed the replies in this thread. I just got to see it when I got a mail in my mail box about the reply by Mithila mam. Will sure blog all the recipies that I got from my grandma. She is a real great cook. Though she is no more now (passed away last December), her cooking and hospitality are really liked and loved by everyone in our family. |
| |
| | Yes Vidhya, I have the Pitlai recipie. Will post it soon. My grandma's pulikaichal is something really special. This Sunday, I learnt a special way of making Pal payasam from my mami which again is my Paati's style. Will post that too. Hope you will give me your feedback after preparing them. |
| |
| | Dear Mithila maami, Pls do let me know your feedback. I know you will love it. The rasam tastes much more good in the night. I still remember the taste. Though I have made the same Rasapodi, I can say that I didnt get that smell and taste. mmmmm Everything needs Kai pakkuvam. |
| |
| |  Rajmi, I am keeping this ingredients list for my next preparation of Rasapodi as the previous one is still in stock... and sure to give a fb.. sriniketan |
