Pepper Rasam, also known as Milagu Rasam, is a spicy and aromatic South Indian soup made with black pepper, tamarind, and other spices. It is known for its medicinal properties and is often consumed to treat cold, cough, and sore throat. The recipe involves boiling tamarind extract with crushed black pepper, cumin seeds, garlic, and other spices. The rasam is then tempered with ghee, mustard seeds, curry leaves, and dried red chilies. It is usually served hot with steamed rice or enjoyed as a comforting soup on its own.
