Lemon Rasam

I do Lemon rasam whenever I make variety rice for lunch. Rasam at our home is just for me and my hubby. Kids take rasam only when they are sick. I love to try with different kind of rasam. I take it like a soup. If I have fried appalam or papad I normally put it in Rasam and drink / eat it. Perfect treat for me. Enjoy this lemon rasam with hot rice or just as soup.
