Easy and Tasty Rasam

In ಅವರ್ ಮನೇ there is no habit of eating rasam rice every day. But its in my ಅತೆ ಮನೆe. This time when I we nt to India for 2 months. I stayed in my in-laws place for a month. Every day there is rasam inspite of 2 palya's, samber and others.. if rasam is not there at the final stage of the dinner all of them were feeling like its hnot the proper end of the dinner
by the time I leave India. I also started liking Rasam, it's yummy man, little sour and little hot. Very good combo in south Indian traditional meal.
