Basic preparation of Rasam requires Tamarind water. Sometimes Toor dal can also be added to make rasam. Typically this way of preparation is done when we dont make main dish Sambar/Kuzhambu but have only Rasam. Both about Tamarind water and Toor dal are explained in Sambar page.

Mostly Rasam is a 100% vegetarian dish. Rare cases are there when its non-vegetarian. For eg: Kozhi rasam (Chicken rasam)
