Rasam is all time favorite in any South Indian house. It is a quick recipe with rich aroma with all ingredients. Its my long time wish to try Mysore Rasam (It is famous in Karnataka).  I am giving the recipe from vah chef and modified a bit for my taste. This has excellent aroma and will tingle your taste buds.
