Pudina Rasam, also known as Mint Rasam, is a refreshing and aromatic South Indian soup made with fresh mint leaves, tamarind, and a blend of spices. It is known for its cooling properties and is often consumed during hot summer days. The recipe involves boiling tamarind extract with mint leaves, tomatoes, rasam powder, and other spices. The rasam is then tempered with ghee, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaves, and dried red chilies. Pudina rasam can be enjoyed as a soup or served with steamed rice and papadum.
