BM #110 Week 2 Day 2 -
Today's recipe has become a recent favorite at home since my friend's mom gave us some of the Horsegram Rasam Powder. But once the powder ran out, I got lazy to make it and so we are back to the the regular Tomato Rasam. My family and friends love both the versions of Rasam.
This one is especially useful if anyone in your family has been diagnosed with kidney stones. My MIL vouches for this fact as she has tried and tested the use of horsegram in taking care of the kidney stones over a few decades.
