Rasam vada is basically piping hot and crispy vadas soaked in spicy rasam. Rasam is a light lentil soup that gets its flavor from tamarind broth, diced tomatoes, traditional spices, and curry leaves. The rasam gives an entirely new dimension to the taste of the typical vada. Rasam is so popular in South India, that for many South Indians, the word is now synonymous with comfort food. If you want to really blow the minds of your South Indian guests, serve them this dish. They’ll never know what hit them. You can store it in a casserole and eat later, and it will still taste as delicious as freshly prepared.
Health Benefits
The primary ingredient used in the base of the soup are lentils, edible seeds that are members of the legume family. Legumes are eaten a lot in Asia, especially India, due to the high vegetarian populations. They are a great met substitute and a powerful source of protein. Lentils also contain the amino acids, methionine and cysteine. These amino acids are essential and work in tandem to improve muscle building and strengthen the body.
