Who doesn't like rasam ? It is the best comfort food. When we are not feeling well or when we want to finish a meal, we need rasam.
Our taste buds long for a cup of rasam or rasam with steaming rice. Though it is a very usual item, we have a diverse and variety of recipes.
In each and every region we follow different recipe for rasam. Most of us use rasam powder for making it. I love the flavor of freshly ground
spices and that is the only reason I make this powderless rasam. Rasam without rasam powder has an awesome effortless preparation.
This is my favorite recipe given by my mom. I hope you will also like this recipe.
