Coconut Rasam – Coconut milk Rasam – Simple yet flavourful Rasam – Coconut milk Lentil soup

My hubby loves coconut flavored dishes. I was getting bored with normal rasam. I had more coconut gratings. I wanted to do something with it. I remembered I had tasted Coconut milk rasam before. So I decided it to give it a try. I made this rasam with home made rasam powder. if you prefer to make the fresh grinded spices you can do so. I love eating tit bits like murukku, mixture soaked in rasam..
