    narthangai-rasam-recipe

    Narthangai rasam is a quick one you can prepare if you have narthangai, bitter orange, citron with you and want to use it up quickly.

    Last month my sis in law here in SG passed me few narthangai. I desperately wanted to make narthangai pachadi. It has been a long time since I made pachadi, so wanted to. But it started ripening already. So thought of making rice with it for me. Then thought what else can be made with it, so that I can blog it too. So tried narthangai rasam from this blog. Made slight variations to suit my taste bud.

    Very flavourful of course, quick and easy to make, appetizing rasam. You can also check the other narthangai recipes:
