    Ginger lemon rasam recipe

    ginger lemon rasam recipe

    Ginger rasam recipe, the combination of lemon and ginger along with coriander leaves makes it taste awesome. Even can be had as soup with little cooked rice added to it.

    This will induce hunger as it has ginger and pepper in it. I make lemon rasam this way, but I wanted to try adding ginger in it and make it ginger lemon rasam. Sounds really appetizing is it? Once I had lemon rasam at my periyamma place and loved it. Since then, used to make lemon rasam this way to which this ginger addition takes it to another level both in flavour and taste.

      I often crave garlic rasam, but never tried a ginger version - reading this, I'm truly surprised I haven't had it already! Guess it is time to fix that 🙂

      Very nice entry Raji. Did you see mine. I felt so shy when I posted that ginger tea. I know that it's a common thing ,nothing special. But I had no time and I had to participate. Rasam looks so comforting.

      Something is missing in this rasam. I think, we have to add some Cumminseed powder.
