Killu milagai rasam | Sathamadu, a very simple rasam without tomato and rasam powder. A quick and easy to make bachelor friendly rasam recipe with tamarind water and red chili as main ingredients. Recently when my friend visited Chennai, she was having lunch at her patti’s house and the loving 90 year grandmother always amazes her by her simple yet tasty recipes. While she was there, we both were having a conversation on phone and she was telling about this Goddu Rasam | sathamudu. When she was telling about the simplicity of the recipe, I told her to record the rasam recipe in Patti’s voice. She did that and sent it to me. The same day I made it and it was so delicious. I was amazed how a rasam can taste so yum without tomato, dal water, coriander leaves, or rasam powder. Those days when there are so many members in the family, and it is difficult to financially afford an elaborate meal with veggies, this rasam is a savior with minimum ingredients. Here comes the recipe of Goddu rasam, from the kitchen of Rajalakshmi patti, fondly called Raja Patti by her grandchildren. Also check out
