Hi.. Foodies..

                                                          "Rasam"

One of my friends Mrs Vijayam called me yesterday... She knows very well that I m very much fond of cooking.. So when ever she gets a good recipe she will share it  with me.Todays recipe of Rasam is one of them which I got from her..
I made it on the same day which got the recipe.. Because this Rasam is  very easy to prepare.The smell and taste were just superb while making this recipe. So am sharing this recipe of my friend to you all..

We have always heard from people to have Rasam when we are sick like fever,throat pain,indigestion.. This is beacause of the ingredients which we use in this..Due to the spices which we use, Rasam gives a relief to throat pains and other problems..The spices which I am using in this Rasam are all good for our healthy digestion as well..Mixing of maslas with our own finger tips give a marvelous taste to it..Its a good appetizer too...I would suggest all to try this Special Rasam..
