Pacchi Pulusu | Raw Tamarind Rasam


Pachi Pulusu, a traditional Andhra and Telangana delicacy, is a refreshing, uncooked, tamarind-based rasam that is perfect for the hot summer months. The name “Pachi” in Telugu means raw, and “Pulusu” refers to tamarind-based curries or waters. Unlike the usual cooked rasam, Pachi Pulusu is a simple, yet flavorful raw rasam made with tamarind extract, green chillies, onions, jaggery, and salt. This dish is renowned for its cooling properties, making it an ideal choice to beat the heat.

Pachi Pulusu is easy to prepare and requires no cooking, which is why it is often made during the sweltering summer season, offering relief from the heat while delivering a tangy, spicy, and slightly sweet taste. In the mango season, a twist is added to this recipe by replacing tamarind extract with steamed and mashed mango pulp, which brings a unique sourness to the dish, adding an extra layer of freshness.

This tangy rasam is traditionally served with steamed rice and can be enjoyed alongside other South Indian dishes like fried vegetables or papad. Pachi Pulusu is a versatile dish that can also be had as a refreshing drink during the day, thanks to its light and cooling nature.
