Nellikai rasam| Gooseberry rasam
Nellikai Rasam, or Amla Rasam, is a tangy and mildly spicy South Indian soup made using Indian gooseberries (amla). The rasam has a well-balanced flavor profile—slightly sour from the amla, heat from black pepper and green chilies, and a subtle sweetness from jaggery. The use of spices like cumin, hing (asafoetida), and coriander enhances its earthy and aromatic appeal. It is typically served with hot rice or consumed as a warm, comforting soup.
