Rasam or chaaru a healthy South Indian dish. It can be consumed with rice or served as an appetizer. The ingredients in it are good for digestion. It's very common dish in every household. The procedure may vary from one to other.
Different varieties of rasams are already there in my earlier posts. Some like garlic rasam made with fresh and a special powder. Some we make powders and store them for a long. Some rasam varieties need no powder at all like the one which I am posting now.
