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.
