    Hi Mullai,

    This is the tastiest rasam !

    I made this rasam today by using pearl onions instead of garlic.
    It tasted fantastic. Just like how they make in the restaurants.
    A lil bit spicy though, but overall taste was just amazing!

    I keep trying a lot of your recipes and end up writing a comment
    for each of them 🙂

    All great dishes!

    Excellent combination of ingredients!

    This recipe is nice and simple.. Instead of grinding pepper corn, cumin seeds and garlic, I used powder & paste forms and it still worked fantastic… I had cold and nothing would’ve been a great meal… Thank you Mullai
