One Pot Rasam Sadham is the ultimate comfort food — tangy, mildly spiced, and ready in minutes. A bowl of warm rasam rice can soothe you like nothing else after a long day. Traditionally, rasam and rice are cooked separately and then mixed, but this one-pot method brings the same comforting flavor with half the effort — ideal for beginners, students, or anyone looking for a quick, homely meal.

🍲 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)

• ½ cup raw rice (short-grain or sona masoori)

• 1 medium tomato, chopped

• ½ tsp tamarind paste (or small marble-sized soaked tamarind)

• 2 cups water (adjust as needed for consistency)

• 1 tsp rasam powder

• ¼ tsp turmeric powder

• ½ tsp mustard seeds

• ½ tsp cumin seeds

• 2–3 garlic cloves (crushed)

• 1–2 dried red chilies

• A pinch of asafoetida

• Few curry leaves

• Salt to taste

• 1 tsp ghee or oil

• Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

🔥 Method

1. Rinse the rice well and keep aside.

2. In a pressure cooker or instant pot, heat ghee or oil.

3. Add mustard seeds, cumin, garlic, red chilies, curry leaves, and asafoetida. Let them splutter.

4. Add chopped tomatoes, turmeric, and rasam powder. Sauté till tomatoes soften.

5. Add tamarind paste, salt, and 2 cups of water. Stir well.

6. Add rinsed rice, mix, and cook for 6-7 whistles (or 8–9 minutes in Instant Pot on pressure cook mode).

7. Once pressure releases, gently mash a bit , add some hot water to dilute a bit to bring it to slightly runny consistency if you like a soft texture.

8. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and a drizzle of ghee before serving.

Serve hot with papad, pickle, or a simple vegetable stir-fry on the side.
