An easy and lip smacking rasam that is very easy to make without Rasam powder. The highlight of this rasam is that till the last serve it maintains the same consistency. Usually when we add boiled thur dal to usual rasam, after few serves it becomes thick at the bottom and loses the soup consistency. So whenever I have guests at home I make this rasam which can be served with rice or as soup in bowls....
