    hi, instead of using MTR Rasam powder you can prepare Rasam powder homemade..take Dhaniya-2cups,Thoor Dhal-1cup,peppercorn-1/4thcup,jeera-1/4thcup,red chillies-15,curry leaves-10nos,turmeric powder-1tablespoon.

    1.just grind everything in a coarse consistency.this is my mom's recipe.hope you like it..worth to try.

    Hi Krithiga , i too make home made rasam powder but i use it for regular rasam . When i make pappu charu i like to add MTR . But these days i stopped adding rasam powders in pappu charu , am just making it simple just by replacing it with little amount of chilly powder.

    -Cheers,
    Preethi.
