I love rasam in any flavors. My meal will not end with out rasam. It is so comforting and easy dish one can prepare with out much cooking knowledge. Today there is another rasam recipe from my kitchen, which is super tangy with wholesome goodness of fresh lemon and tomatoes. Taste delicious and makes you feel light. You can also can also add cooked toor dhal to your rasam to have slight twist. But do not add tamarind, which will completely change the taste and aroma of this rasam. Now
