Udupi rasam or udupi saaru is a thin lentil soup full of teasing flavours, which can be a comforting soup during cold days or as an everyday side along with rice.

In coastal Karnataka, saaru can sometimes be thin lentil, kokum, tomato, horse gram, tamarind, pepper based soups. But in some household even the coconut based vegetable, fish, chicken curries are also addressed as saaru.

Back home we call only dal and rasam as saaru or saar in tulu.

This recipe is an instant recipe if you have udupi rasam powder handy. And this can be prepared with pantry staple ingredients.

Normally split pigeon peas/ toor dal is used, but this can be prepared with split green gram (moong dal) and also split red gram (masoor dal).

This recipe tastes good even without tempering. If you feel like adding one you can do that, as in this recipe.
