Mysore Rasam | How to Make Mysore Rasam

For this week theme on BM I'm presenting " South Indian Meal Dishes-Karnataka Cuisine". Enjoy the dishes & don't miss the update. Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM# 42.

Mysore Rasam is a appetizing Karnataka dish. There are many recipes to make a rasam, but this version of it is flavorful & has a kick to it. Rasam powder or paste is very much different from the usual one we make. Coconut flakes in rasam powder will add a delicious flavor to rasam. I got this recipe from mom & she was praising how good this rasam has tasted. So it tempted me to give it a try & at the end we {me & hubby} loved it.
