Vegetable Rasam: Onam Recipe
Rasam is a traditional South-Indian recipe. Also known as Saaru, rasam is a soup that is made with tamarind, vegetables and spices. It is teamed up with sambar and is also a natural medicine to cure cold and cough. You can make rasam sweet or spicy (depending on your likes).
