Orange Rasam Recipe – Orange Juice Rasam Recipe

orange rasam recipe

Orange rasam recipe is one of the interesting and tasty rasam varieties. I buy Kamala orange or mosambi for Raksha as she loves both. But we all consume it as a fruit more than just drinking its juice. So I never had a chance to try recipes using orange juice. But this time, I reserved an orange to try out this rasam recipe and share in my space. I made it in a simple way just like my usual Tamilnadu style rasam. It tasted so good. I couldn’t spot any difference in taste but I could smell a nice orange flavor. We all loved it. Friend do try this easy, yummy orange juice rasam. You will love it too !

Note

  • You can add lemon juice instead of tamarind extract but you should add at the end. Do not boil after adding it.
  • You can dry roast all the ingredients and then powder it instead of grinding it raw.
  • You can add orange zest ( orange skin gratings) if you like. But I din’t add it.
  • Adjust the quantity of red chilli based on the tanginess of orange juice.
