We can make good use of the time during lockdown to make homemade powders, which are most of the time bought at the store because of work. This is the perfect time to make homemade powders and store it so we can avoid buying them from outside. This aromatic Rasam Powder is one of the important powders in our homes. You can even make it in large quantities - around 1kg and freeze batches in ziplocks so the flavor can last longer. This is very simple, handy and yet very delicious and aromatic 😋😋
