ABOUT Rasam (Indian soup) RECIPE

This easy recipe requires no preparation. These ingredients are normally available in all houses. Though there are many varieties of rasams prepared in a South Indian household, this one is little different in the sense that it can be eaten like a clear soup. I watched this recipe in a TV channel and have prepared this many times, it is liked by all of my family members.
