Pathiya Rasam
This is a simple rasam prepared when you have stomach problems and this rasam soothes you. Making this is very simple and it helps in digestion easily as it is made using cumin seeds. My mother used to make pathiya rasam like this and I am sharing her recipe here.

In the “Method” portion,there is no mention of use of Black pepper or Rasam powder”.
I do not know how this rasam will taste without black pepper or rasam powder.
This rasam is given for those who have stomach problems. So we do not add pepper or rasam powder in this. It will not be spicy as other rasams. If it is spicy stomach will get upset again.
