Kandathipli & Arisithipli Rasam

Kandathipli & Arisithipli Rasam 

Kandathipli & Arisithipli are medicinal herbs used in cooking as a remedy for cough and body pains. With climate fluctuating in our place getting cough is unavoidable even if it is summer.

In the video I had used mortar pestle for grinding the rasam powder, it can be done in a mixer. Garlic is optional and I have not included in the video.
Also see Kanda thipli Rasam recipe which I posted last year.

Kandathipli is used for healing body pains while arisithipli generates bodyheat. The recipe is absolutely tasty when the spices are ground in a mortar pestle and the rasam is cooked in a kalchatti.
Kandathipli and Arisi thipli are available in any country drugs shop and some of the supermarkets.
In Singapore Kandathipli is available in Mustafa and many Indian shops in Buffalo street.
