This is one rasam which i make often, because it is like two in one..Whenever i make this rasam, i dont have to worry about making sidedishes. Because i used the horsegram cooking liquid(which is so healthy) for making this rasam and use the cooked horsegram to make this delicious sundal and serve it with rice. This is what i call a proper lunch.
