Hey ! Rasam came out really well Thanks for the recipe ! ^^ ! But i was wondering why do you add sugar to most of your recipes ? Also it kinda gives sweetness to the dish ! Do you have any reason why ?

I have made rasam before but using the rasam powder we get to buy from grocery stores.
Luckily for me, today i was out of rasam powder but i had all the other ingredients. And as lazy as i am, i ddnt want to go out and buy rasam powder and searched for recipes.
I cannot thank you enough for sharing this wonderful recipe. I swear i will be using this recipe for making rasam from now on. The aroma the taste, it was heavenly. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe... Lots of love
