Description: Tasmanian Spice Traders’ Rasam Podi is a traditional South Indian blend of roasted lentils, herbs, and spices, thoughtfully crafted to bring the authentic flavors of Rasam to your kitchen. This zesty, aromatic mix elevates the humble yet vibrant Rasam—a tangy, soup-like dish featuring ingredients like tomatoes, tamarind, kokum, and a medley of spices. Whether paired with vegetables, meat, fish, or even fruit, Rasam is celebrated for its warmth, depth, and versatility.
Made with premium, all-natural ingredients and no artificial additives, our handcrafted Rasam Podi features roasted chana dal, toor dal, and urad dal for a nutty richness. This is perfectly balanced with the earthy warmth of cumin and fenugreek, the citrusy brightness of coriander, the peppery heat of Tellicherry black peppercorns, and the vibrant hue of Kashmiri red chiles. Fragrant curry leaves add a subtle, herbaceous aroma, tying the blend together with a distinctive South Indian flair.
Traditionally used to season and thicken rasam dishes, this versatile blend also shines in soups, stews, and innovative recipes, infusing them with layers of flavor and a touch of earthy warmth. Perfect for warming your palate and soothing the soul, Tasmanian Spice Traders Rasam Podi is your gateway to authentic South Indian cooking. It’s an essential addition for anyone exploring the rich and diverse culinary heritage of South India.

And, just in case you are wondering, 'Rasam' translates as 'Juice' referring to the tomato, tamarind, or kokum juice that is the base of rasam dishes, while 'Podi' is simply the Telugu word for 'Dry' or 'Powder' so, 'Rasam Podi' literally translates as 'Juice Powder'. 

Rasam Podi blends should always be salt-free, and Tasmanian Spice Traders upholds this tradition. Our proprietary Rasam Podi is perfect for those managing their salt intake, while giving everyone the flexibility to season their meals to their own taste preferences. And besides, you get more of the good stuff in every container!
