Hi friends, rasam or soup is all time favorite and in every South Indian home, rasam will occupies constantly. We can make number of rasam varieties, and here I have prepared kollu/horse gram rasam. Kollu is a type of lentil which has many benefits including relief cold to weight loss.

Making rasam is easy process, but I must say more number of spices in it and aids for easy digestion too. So that we are complete our dinner with some amount of rasam rice. Its very good for kids too. I have already shared the homemade rasam powder, and its handy to make the rasam quickly.
