KOTTU RASAM

Rasam is always served during feast.  When you are having very bad cough, cold, fever, especially  during rainy season, hot rasam is a boon.  One of my aunt used to prepare this rasam mostly during rainy season as myself and my brother used to love it with hot steaming rice.

It is a very simple rasam without involving much ingredients, vegetables or rasam powder.
