    Rasam looks tempting. This is new to me. But love to try it soon (when I make some chicken/ fish fry).

  3. You do take time and care to do each dish. usually I dont grind anything for rasam, just add the powder and make it. I should try your version of thengai rasam, it sure looks very tasty…
