Rasam masala is a spice blend used in South Indian cuisine, specifically for preparing rasam, a popular tangy and flavorful soup. Rasam is a traditional dish made with tamarind, tomatoes, and various spices, and rasam masala is a key component that adds depth and complexity to its taste.
Apart from rasam, rasam masala can also be used to add flavor to other South Indian dishes or lentil-based preparations. It can be sprinkled over cooked rice or used as a seasoning for various stir-fried vegetables or lentil curries.
