Spiced Beetroot Rasam brings together the earthy sweetness of beetroot, the warmth of pepper and cumin, and the tang from tamarind to create a bright, soothing dish. This version follows a traditional approach where dal adds body, roasted spices bring aroma, and a slow simmer lets everything settle into a balanced, mellow broth.
