One advantage of preparing it at home is that you can adjust the amount of spiciness by increase or decrease the amount of black peppercorns and dry red chillies. Different types of rasams can be prepared quickly using this homemade rasam powder. The ingredients are usually roasted with a spoon of oil separately and then powdered. This version has no oil.
