Vetrilai Rasam Recipe in Tamil, Easy Betel Leaf(vethalai) rasam

Vetrilai Rasam is a superfood provides an excellent preventive measure to ward off many diseases. Like Kandanthipili rasam recipe, It is also traditionally prepared using Betel Leaves(Vetrilai in Tamil) & Vethalai in Local Language, made with tamarind juice as a base, with the addition of Indian sesame oil, turmeric, tomato, pepper, garlic, cumin, curry leaves, mustard, coriander, asafoetida, sea salt, and water.
Rasam is a classic example of traditional functional food with all its ingredients medicinally claimed for various ailments. Vethalai rasam recipe in Tamil I have uploaded in Youtube and here is shared the Short Video of How to make Vetrilai Rasam Recipe in Tamil. There are many medicinal benefits of Vetrilai. I used to buy Vetrilai from Perumal stores Dubai Where I can get fresh Young Betel Leaves. I used to make Kashayam With Vetrilai, Just Grind some Vetrialai with Omam leaves, pepper but she troubles me to drink that because it’s very spicy. Then slowly I started to make Vethalai rasam at home and made her have it with rice. She didn’t find what I have added to it. And she likes the taste too.

some tips, suggestions, and variations for a perfect and flavored Vethalai rasam recipe.

firstly, I would always recommend using Fresh Young Vetrilai and Fresh Ajwain(omam Leaves) to make Vetrilai rasam powder. secondly, don’t skip adding cooked dal(paruppu thanni) as it enhances the tastes. lastly, in this recipe, I have used the combination of tamarind and tomatoes and achieved the sourness. but if you wish to make it without tamarind, you can skip the tamarind and double the tomatoes ingredient.

Notes

1. Mash the tomatoes and make like a tomato puree. Even you can grind the tomatoes but you will miss the tomato chunks in the rasam.
2. Adjust the pepper & chili according to your spice level.
3. Always make the rasam powder freshly and make rasam, stored rasam powder will not taste good as fresh ones.
4. Always serve hot piping rasam.
