KULITH RASAM, MUTHIRA RASAM, HORSEGRAM RASAM, KOLLU RASAM

Rasam is a watery dish served after having sambar rice in Southern States.  It is a good appetiser too.  Various types of rasams are made viz. tomato rasam, mysore rasam, milagu rasam etc.  recently one of my cousin visited our house.  she is also equally interested in cooking like me so she shared the recipe.


Rasam is one of the  dish we really enjoy. myself and my elder brother is very fond of it.  my mami used to make goddu rasam or kottu rasam.  we love to eat rice with this rasam and nothing else is required.
