Karnataka Style Easy Obbattu Saaru Recipe - Holige Saaru - Hoorna Saaru

Last year this day, I tasted Karnataka special Obbattu saaru for the first time in my (school moms group) friend Megha’s house. This title may sound new to some of you. Let me first tell you what it is. Obbattu saaru also known as holige saaru and hoorna saaru is nothing but a rasam kind of gravy that is prepared using leftover pooran/hoorna used for making obbattu. Its one of the most popular recipes in Karnataka. Usually Kannadigas make obbattu (Holige/Puran poli) for almost all the festivals like Ugadi,Varamahalakshmi, Gowri Ganesha etc. 

On those days, they never fail to make this obbattina saaru using the left over dal chana dal pooran. Everybody love this saaru equally as obbattu. Authentic version of this gravy requires freshly ground masala with rasam powder/Thili saaru powder, coconut and poppy seeds. 

As I don't have Karnataka style rasam powder in hand, I have not shared the traditional method of making obbattu saaru in this post. Instead I have given an easy ans simplified version without using rasam powder from my friend Mega. She taught me a very simple and quick recipe using readymade spice powders. Many thanks to Megha for teaching me this easy n quick version.

To be frank, I love this saaru more than obbattu. The combination of sweet and spicy taste is the highlight of this gravy. It tastes great when its reheated and used the next day. This morning I made obbattu saaru using the leftover chana dal pooranam I made for Ganesh chaturthi kozhukattai/modak.

 I am sure many of you would have made this pooran yesterday for Gauri Ganesha festival. So I thought of sharing this simple recipe for you to try if you have some pooran left over in hand. I will try to post the authentic obbattu saaru recipe soon. But before that, try this easy method and let me know how u liked it. .Lets see how to make this  Karanataka style easy Obbattu saaru with simple steps.

Lastly temper mustard seeds, cumin & curry leaves. Add to the gravy. Garnish with coriander leaves & grated coconut. Enjoy mixing with plain rice & ghee!

Mysore Rasam Recipe - Arachuvitta Rasam - Rasam Varieties

Mysore rasam is one of the most popular rasam varieties. In tamil, we can call it as “Arachuvitta rasam”.  In most of the South Indian houses, rasam recipe makes it presence almost everyday for lunch. We love to make varieties of rasam recipes. Me too not an exception in this. So I keep trying some new, interesting rasam recipes in my kitchen. This mysore rasam recipe was in my bookmarked list for long time.I never thought this would taste soo good, refreshing and flavourful.

When I tried it last week for the first time, I felt its taste was very close to the rasam I had tasted in hotels and brahmin marriage feast here in Bangalore. My Kannadiga friends make a similar rasam using saaru pudi/ rasam powder and they call it as “Bele saaru”. I am not sure whether this is the authentic mysore rasam recipe but it tasted really good. So I made it again for my in-laws.This recipe became an instant hit among my friends and family. 

Unlike our usual rasam, mysore rasam has a slightly thick consistency and it tastes spicy too. Its the freshly roasted and ground rasam powder that makes the difference. For this recipe, I watched Vahchef’s video and some more websites too. Also I made few changes in the quantity of ingredients based on my family’s taste. I just loved this rasam and I can even drink this as a soup. I’ll be surely making it very often.You too give a try and share your feedback. Lets see how to make this super flavorful and the most popular Mysore Rasam Recipe.

Tamarind - Medium gooseberry size Tomato - 1 no (big) Sambar powder - 1 tsp Green chillies - 1 or 2 nos (adjust) Water - 2-3 cups Cooked toor dal - 2 tbsp ( dilute it) Grated jaggery - 1 tsp Salt & turmeric powder - as needed To roast n grind Cooking oil - 1/2 tsp Chana dal - 1 tsp Urad dal - 1/2 tsp Curry leaves – 5 nos ( I din’t add) Dhania/Coriander seeds - 2 tsp Red chilli - 1 no Pepper corns - 1/2 tsp Cumin seeds/Jeera - 1/2 tsp Grated coconut - 1.5 tbsp Hing/Asafetida- a pinch To temper Ghee - 1 tsp Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp Curry leaves - few Coriander leaves - to garnish Grated coconut - very little ( to garnish, completely optional)

METHOD - HOW TO MAKE MYSORE RASAM

Reserve 2 tbsp of cooked toor dal. Mash it well by adding 1/4 cup of water. Grind tomato to a smooth paste using little water & keep aside. In a wide bowl, take the tamarind extract adding 2 cups of water. To this add tomato puree, sambar powder, slitted green chillies, turmeric powder, salt & hing. Let it boil for 5 minutes. Heat little oil in a kadai and when it gets heated, roast & grind all the items given under”to roast n grind”. Add the grated coconut at the end of roasting. Mix well & let it cool. Grind everything to a smooth paste adding enough water. Add this paste & cooked toor dal to the rasam. Add little jaggery and allow it to boil well.

Note

I used one big Bangalore tomato. Please use 2 nos if your tomato is small. Make sure it is ripe. Adjust the quantity of sambar powder as per your taste. U can also skip adding sambar powder & add more chillies & dhania while roasting. Adding jaggery gives a mild sweet taste to this rasam and also helps to balance the tanginess. So don’t avoid it. This rasam would be slightly thicker than our usual rasam. So boil it well. Hope you can find it in the next picture.

A bowl of hot rice with rasam accompanied by a papad is a divine lunch me!! What say friends??

Tamilnadu Rasam Recipe - South Indian Rasam Recipe

This is my basic South Indian style rasam recipe which I learnt from my Aachi in Tirunelveli, Tamilnadu. I make this rasam almost everyday without using homemade or store bought rasam powder and dal water. Instead I make it with freshly ground rasam powder. My MIL like this rasam a lot & this is my daughter’s favourite Rasam mammu too. 

Last year I shared my dad’s Easy rasam recipe using Instant rasam powder. This is also very similar recipe but the ingredients of rasam powder differs slightly. As we are using freshly ground powder,this rasam comes out very flavourful but I  tell you it tastes the best when prepared in advance. It needs some standing time for all the flavours to infuse. Beginners and bachelors can also try this recipe. U can make this powder using a small mortar & pestle if you don’t have a mixie. 

Now lets see how to prepare this yummy Tamil nadu style basic rasam recipe. Soon I will post more rasam varieties here.

Easy Rasam Recipe With Easy Rasam Powder

As I mentioned in my kara kulambu post, my appa makes rasam very well. When my father was in mumbai, he used to do this rasam with an easy homemade rasam powder. For this recipe, store bought rasam powder  is not needed. We love this rasam more than my mom’s version. So we (me & my sis) used to tell our dad to make rasam in weekends and we enjoy with mom’s potato poriyal.

This is a very simple rasam recipe using freshly ground rasam powder with just 2 ingredients. U can replace this rasam powder with store bought or your own rasam powder too. It comes out well. It can be made in few minutes. We call this as bachelor’s rasam. U can even drink this rasam. I love to mix with buttermilk & drink. 

The flavour of pepper and jeera waft around your house when you make this rasam. Try this easy rasam during busy mornings. Tastes great with simple potato curry and papad !

Rasam recipe

Easy rasam recipe with freshly ground easy rasam powder

Cuisine: Indian Category: side dish Yields: 3

Prep Time: 10 Minutes Cook Time: 10 Minutes Total Time: 20 Minutes

INGREDIENTS

For rasam powder Pepper corns - 1 tbsp Cumin seeds - 2 tbsp For rasam Tamarind - Medium gooseberry size Tomato - 1 no Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp Rasam powder - 3 tsp (mentioned above) Crushed garlic cloves - 5 nos Sugar - A pinch Salt - as needed Water - 3 cups To temper Oil or ghee - 2 tsp Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp Jeera/cumins seeds - 1/2 tsp Red chillies – 1 or 2 nos Curry leaves - few Coriander leaves - 2 tbsp (to garnish)

HOW TO MAKE RASAM - METHOD

In a bowl, soak tamarind in half cup of hot water for 5 minutes. In the mean time, prepare rasam powder by grinding the pepper corns and cumin seeds together. Store in a box.Set aside. Extract tamarind juice using 2.5cups of water. Totally it should come to 3 cups. Add salt, sugar, turmeric powder & rasam powder. Mix well. Check for taste. U’ll feel the rasam taste. Add more salt & rasam powder if necessary. Now crush the tomatoes well using your hands and add to this tamarind water. In a kadai, heat oil or ghee and temper the mustard seeds, jeera/cumin seeds, pinched red chillies, curry leaves. Add the tamarind mixture. Let it boil for a minute. Then add 1/4 cup water and add the crushed garlic pods. Give a full roll boil only once and it becomes frothy. (alternately you can just boil the rasam and add the tempering at the end. It gives a nice flavor).  When it becomes frothy, add chopped coriander leaves and switch off the flame. Transfer to a bowl. Close it with a lid immediately. Rasam is ready to enjoy with plain rice !

Note

The quantity I have given for rasam powder can be used for making rasam thrice. Store it in an air tight box and use a clean, dry spoon. U can also use sakthi, priya, aachi rasam powder. Use 1 tsp for 1 cup of water. Check for taste. Add more or less based on your need. Dal water can be added for more taste. For variations, you can saute the tomato while tempering instead of adding it raw.. Adding Sugar gives a clear rasam. Garlic cloves and coriander leaves is a must for this recipe. Tempering can be done at the end too. It will give a different flavour. Using ghee is optional but it smells good while you eat.

 

Yummy , flavourful rasam is ready to eat with plain rice!
