TRADITIONAL RASAM - (Tamil Nadu Style)

 Traditional Rasam - (Tamil Nadu Style)

Rasam is a traditional recipe in South India. We take rasam every day after a meal. It is a Sour, Spicy recipe to have during cold winters. The spices that, I add into the rasam like cumin, black pepper help in relief from the cold, sour throat, loss of appetite and it is a good digestive recipe too. It can also be served with steamed rice along with any vegetable dish or even along with vegetable sambar. Rasam goes well with steamed rice and omelet. It is an unbeatable combo👌, which everyone loves to have.
