'''Rasam''' ({{audio|Ta-இரசம்.ogg|pronunciation}}) is a clear and spicy [[South Indian]] [[soup]].<ref name="independent">{{cite web |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/recipes/rasam-525477.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091102032513/http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/recipes/rasam-525477.html |archive-date=2009-11-02 |url-status=dead |title=Rasam - Recipes, Food & Drink - The Independent |access-date=4 April 2014 }}</ref> It is eaten with rice or consumed as a soup. In a traditional South Indian meal, it can be part of a course that includes [[sambar (dish)|sambar]] rice and [[curd rice]]. Rasam has a distinct taste in comparison to the [[Sambar (dish)|sambar]] due to its own seasoning ingredients and is fluid in consistency. Chilled prepared versions are marketed commercially as well as rasam paste in bottles.<ref name=" The Times Of India">{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/NRN-funded-startup-to-retail-rasam-sattu-in-packs/articleshow/45635440.cms|title=NRN-funded startup to retail rasam, sattu in packs|newspaper=The Times Of India|access-date=25 December 2014}}</ref><br />

==Origin==<br />
<br />
In [[South Indian]] households ''rasam'' commonly refers to a soup prepared with sweet-sour stock made from either [[kokum]] or [[tamarind]], along with [[tomato]] and [[dal|lentil]], added spices and garnish. ''Rasam'' in [[Tamil language|Tamil]] and [[Malayalam]], ''Tili saaru'' in [[Kannada language|Kannada]], or ''chaaru'' in Telugu means "essence" and, by extension, "juice" or "soup".<br />
<br />
==Ingredients==<br />
Rasam is prepared mainly with [[kokum]], [[malabar tamarind]] ''(kudam puli)'', [[tamarind]], [[Ambula (food)|ambula]], or [[amchur]] (dried green mango) stock depending on the region. Along with [[tomato]] stock, [[dal|dal or lentil]] (for rasam, the typical dal used is split yellow pigeon peas or Toor dal) are optional but are used in several rasam recipes. [[Jaggery]], cumin, [[black pepper]], [[turmeric]], mustard seeds, [[lemon]], chilli powder, [[Murraya koenigii|curry leaves]], and [[coriander]] may be used as flavoring ingredients and garnish in [[South India]].<br />
