Udupi Style Pepper Rasam Recipe | miriyala rasam | pepper rasam recipe

Udupi Style Pepper Rasam Recipe This recipe is uniquely different from other rasam varieties. It does not use green chillies, red chillies, tomatoes, or garlic. Instead, this rasam is prepared with freshly ground spices, with black pepper as the hero ingredient.

The aroma and flavor are enhanced by the use of husked urad dal. Adding jaggery is essential, as it balances the flavors beautifully. Since this recipe does not include garlic, it is perfect for festive occasions and ideal for those who prefer pure vegetarian dishes. Additionally, the tempering for this rasam is done exclusively with ghee, which adds to its rich and aromatic flavor.
