Drumstick Rasam | Murungakkai Rasam Recipe

by Jiya Jesh · Updated on July 15, 2022 Curries/ Gravies| South Indian Recipes

Drumstick rasam recipe is a flavorful variation to rasam using drumsticks. A South Indian meal feels incomplete without the humble rasam.

There are many variations to rasam and this drumstick rasam is one of my favorites. Drumsticks are also a very popular vegetable used in South Indian cuisine.

I love the aroma when drumsticks are cooked and when I have some available with me, I use them to make drumstick curry or sambar or this rasam.

Apart from the lovely flavor that they can add to a dish, drumsticks are a great source of calcium and vitamin C. If you are planning on preparing a different rasam, do try this easy drumstick rasam recipe.
