Rasam Rice

In today’s blog, I will share the recipe for Rasam rice. Coming from North Karnataka our days revolve around Jowar roti, Curry, Rice, Sambar, and Rasam. Being a rice lover I always preferred to have rice with sambar or rasam. But, there are n number of rice recipes I learnt after coming to Bangalore. Rasam rice is one of the most favorite rice recipes that I learned in Bangalore. It tastes so yummy that you won’t need any extra side dish for it. My husband and I love to have it for our dinner. Now, without any delay let’s jump into the recipe.
