Rasam is an inevitable everyday menu in South Indian homes.There are many types of rasam made but Puli saru is a unique one because of its taste.Are you lazy to cook and want to really relax or have an unexpected guest this rasam comes handy.My mom used to make this in a giffy so we nick-named it as Maya Rasam.
