retention and helps in de-worming. This vegetable is cut into small pieces,

Dhuvadasi Rasam/Poricha Rasam/Poricha Rasam Recipe /Poricha Saathamudhu – Rasam Without Tamarind, Tomatoes or lemon/ Special Rasam for Fasting days
In
South India we make different types of Rasam, but this is, one special type of
rasam prepared without tamarind or tomatoes or lemon. This rasam is called the
Dhuvadasi Rasam or Poricha Rasam prepared on Dhuvadasai which falls after
Ekadasi thithi. Ekadasi vratham is observing total fast [suddha upavasam] on
Ekadasi Thithi. After fasting on Ekadasi day, people have a special food or
thali called “Dhuvadasi Paranai” which is devised by our ancestors for breaking
the fast and balance the acidity levels. So in this Dhuvadasi special meal,
tamarind is totally avoided, since tamarind consumed on an empty stomach can
cause ulcers and stomach problems. The freshly prepared masala has grated coconut
and added to the rasam which is makes this rasam divine. Generally the Dhuvadasi
menu consists of Mor Kuzhambu, Poricha Rasam, Nellikkai Thayir Pachadi, Agathi
Keerai Poriyal, Poricha Kootu, Sundakkai Vatral fried in ghee, white rice,
ghee, mango pickle, yogurt/thayir. I will be posting more of Dhuvadasi recipes
