Traditional and nutritious, South Indian Kollu Rasam is a soothing, protein-rich soup. Made with spices and horse gram (kollu), this rasam is beloved for its digestive properties and is particularly comforting on chilly or wet days. It is finished with a fragrant tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves, and hing. Enjoy it hot as a soup or with steaming rice.
Cook the kollu with water in a pressure cooker until it becomes soft. Strain and set aside the stock.
