Pepper and garlic rasam with vermicelli noodles
Meat soups
Whenever I feel homesick or am in bed nursing a cold and a sore throat, the only smells that waft through my senses are that of bowl of a piping hot rasam, that my mother would lovingly whip up. A thin broth made with a base of tomatoes and tamarind, rasam is infused with herbs and spices. My favorite go to for the winter is a big bowl of garlic-pepper rasam served with rice or vermicelli and a generous dollop of ghee. This is a comfort food that is delicious just because or to soothe ones sinuses, sore throats and such. Garnished with fresh cilantro, it is the most simple south Indian dish, yet one that is most comforting and satisfying. A perfect hug from the inside out!
