Garlic Rasam | Poondu Rasam By Veena Theagarajan

In our family only I like Rasam. It is like Soup for me. My husband takes only 1 tablespoon at the most. Kids eat it when they are sick. So Rasam is mostly done for weekend lunch only. Since it is for me I love to try different Rasam. Garlic is has it special place in my diet. Love the flavour of it. Garlic rasam is so flavourful. It is very similar to Rasam just that with loads of Garlic
