I found this Spicy Chicken rasam recipe when my son was on a bad diet after a high fever. He literally got allergic to the smell of food. I was much worried and wanted to give something that hydrates the baby well. This simple rasam recipe served the purpose. I use to give him a few spoons as a soup if he is not in a mood to take rice.
Why this recipe is good for babies?
One of the best food that has no harm to your stomach is rasam. This chicken rasam is a tummy-friendly food for babies moreover it is a very good comforting food for cold. This can either be taken as a soup or rasam with steamed rice. This is an easily digestible recipe also a spicy and yummy one. The Spicy chicken rasam will be liked by all age groups from adults to kids. It is very hard to feed the baby during cold and fever days. This recipe comes handy to give comfort for the babies and it is easy to swallow.
How to cook meat for chicken rasam?
I used chicken leg pieces to prepare the rasam however you can also use any pieces like wings, breasts, etc. I suggest using bone pieces to bring up the real flavor. It is highly recommended to cook the meat in low flame to get real nutrients. Cooking on the high flame will break down the nutrients in any kind of food.
