Kugan's Kitchen Part 6

Thanks Madhu annaa for your nice post.
I think you did not read the recipe fully.
HERE IS WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN:

Heat a pot with the oil, add in the spices in order.
Let them splutter well, add in the coconut milk mixture.
Cook on a very low flame, do not allow the the mixture to boil.
Thick and thin milk are both added together.

Try the rasam it is a bit different and at the same time tasty.
It is nice eaten with the rice.

Thanks and take care, Kugan

Madhu annaa, here is another rasam for you.
It is very good if you have body pains, and feel some what feverish.
It has lot of medicinal values. Its botanical name is Piper Longum.
This recipe was requested by one of our hubbers, hope she sees it.
Thanks and take care, Kugan.
