In Tamil language, 'Rasam' means Juice. It can refer to any juice but simply Rasam commonly referred to the one prepared with Tamarind/Tomato juice with added spices. Saaru Kannada language or Chaaru in Telugu language, means "essence," and, by extension, "juice" or "soup". Historically, it was prepared mainly with black pepper and tamarind, both ingredients native to and abundant in South India in general. It is also referred to as SatruAmudhu.
It is eaten with rice or separately as soup. In a traditional meal, it is preceded by sambar rice course and is followed by curd rice. Rasam has a distinct taste in comparison to the sambar due to its own seasoning ingredients and is usually fluid in consistency. - Wikipedia
