Apple Rasam
I came across this apple rasam from Penmai and wanted to try it out right away. I have tried many varieties of rasam like pepper rasam, paruppu rasam, lemon rasam etc. Apple rasam seems to have a different taste when compared to other traditional rasams. For me, this rasam has a sour taste and very simple and easy to make. Worth trying once!
