Rasam Powder

This is the masala for that rasam. Five ingredients: black pepper, cumin, coriander, garlic, ginger. No chilli. No tamarind. No filler. No salt. No padding.

Stone-ground and blended in small batches in Kerala. Single-source ingredients. Pepper-forward by design.

What's in it

Five spice powders, in approximate order of quantity:

• Black pepper — the headline; gives milagu rasam its name and its character
• Cumin — for the warm, earthy backbone
• Coriander — for the gentle base
• Garlic powder — for warmth and the savoury depth
• Ginger powder — for brightness and traditional warming character

Best within: 12 months from packing. Store airtight, away from heat and direct light.
