27: A deep dive on rasam, a functional food | Aruna Shanmuga Vadivel (The Everyday Singaporean Series)

Aruna Shanmuga Vadivel: “I would say that it is a functional food because it’s got so many medicinal properties that I only learnt about in my early 20s… My mom was a working mom in Singapore. To her, the easiest dish you could come up with in 10 minutes is rasam and it is a dish that is so healthy.”

 

Vadivel, a Singaporean Indian residing in Australia, shares about the Indian dish rasam, plus: *Differences in breakfast culture in India and Singapore* *Key components of a vegetarian thali meal* *Rasam as a functional food* *Finer points of making rasam* *Main ingredients and steps of making rasam* *Why rasam is not more well known outside of the Indian community in Singapore* *What makes a good rasam*
