Moringa Rasam Powder: A Signature Blend of Flavor and Health
Our signature Moringa Rasam Powder is a vibrant fusion of flavors and healthful ingredients, inspired by the timeless South Indian tradition of rasam, a tangy and spicy soup known for its warming properties and digestive benefits. At Kaaya, we’ve taken this classic recipe and elevated it by adding moringa—a powerful, nutrient-dense leaf—to create a blend that is both wholesome and packed with flavor.
Why Moringa?
Moringa, often called the “miracle tree,” is a nutrient powerhouse. Known for its high content of vitamins A and C, calcium, potassium, and iron, moringa is an incredible ingredient for those looking to support their immune health, energy levels, and overall wellness. Moringa leaves are also rich in antioxidants, which help to reduce inflammation and protect cells from damage.
Our Ingredients and What They Bring to the Blend
- Moringa Leaf Powder – A cornerstone of our blend, moringa brings a unique green flavor and adds a healthful boost.
- Dry Chillies – Bringing the heat to our rasam powder, dry chillies add spice and help stimulate digestion.
- Garlic – Known for its immune-boosting properties, garlic enhances the depth of flavor and provides subtle warmth.
- Tamarind – This sour element is essential to rasam’s signature tang, balancing the spices and bringing a pleasant acidity.
- Asafoetida – With a pungent aroma that mellows into a savory depth, asafoetida aids digestion and gives our rasam its unmistakable South Indian flavor.
- Pepper – Black peppercorns bring a gentle, warming spice that complements the heat from the chillies while adding its own unique flavor.
- Cumin Seeds – Earthy and aromatic, cumin is essential for the complex profile of this blend, adding depth to the heat.
- Red Gram Dal – Adds body to the rasam, while roasted red gram dal enriches the broth with protein and a subtle, nutty flavor.
- Roasted Salt – The final touch, roasted salt enhances the natural flavors and ensures every ingredient shines.
How to Use Moringa Rasam Powder
Making rasam with our Moringa Rasam Powder is incredibly simple. Just simmer a teaspoon of the powder in water or broth, add some diced tomatoes, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh coriander leaves. This can be enjoyed as a soup on its own or poured over steamed rice for a nourishing, comforting meal.
