Mango rasam recipe | Mango charu

Mango rasam is tangy, with full of mango flavour and tasty. No tamarind, only with mango this rasam is a must try.

I have never imagined this idea of making rasam with mango, until a reader friend(Bhavani) sent me the recipe and picture and asked me to try. Since it’s mango season, I know I will try it out. Had few doubts about the ingredients in the rasam that, how it will taste together. But it was perfect and yummy!

If you have not yet tried this one, you must try this one in this mango season. Me and Vj liked it a lot. The onion added at the end gives a totally different flavour at the end. If you prefer to omit, you can and just enjoy the mango’s flavour to the fullest.

Serve hot with rice. We had with rice, but it tastes great as such too. I loved it to have it as such.
