I know Diwali is just off the corner .. and many of you might be fighting that guilt of overindulgence / suffering from indigestion/craving for some simple comfort food after all those festive treats. So today I have for you all an easy peasy flavorful ” Pudina Rasam / Mint Leaves Rasam ” a great dish to tickle your taste buds and an excellent home remedy for indigestion vows. Also good for sore throat and cold. Relish piping hot pudina rasam with hot rice or sip it as a soup in a glass …whichever way you opt..you’l surely enjoy this flavorful refreshing rasam. It’s very flavourful and easy to make.

Few simple points to note while this Mint Rasam are as follows :

  1. Tomatoes and garlic are purely optional. Instead of garlic if you want you can add hing or make just plain if you want only mint flavour.
  2. if you want you can skip adding cooked tuvar dal and make it thinner.
