There’s something undeniably magical about the monsoons—the sudden downpours, the scent of wet earth, and that familiar craving for something warm and comforting. From crispy pakoras and buttery corn to steaming soups and hot momos, the season brings with it a host of delicious indulgences. But with the charm of the rains also come the inevitable colds and sniffles.
Enter Jire-Mire Saar, a zesty lemon rasam by Chef Keertida Phadke that’s perfect for rainy days and runny noses. This tangy, peppery rasam is a nourishing twist on monsoon comfort food, made with toor dal, jaggery, cumin seeds, and curry leaves. Whether sipped as a pre-dinner soup or paired with rice for a light meal, it’s a wholesome remedy for seasonal blues.
