  • Add ground mixture, turmeric powder, asafoetida, adjust salt and toss them well.

 Note:
  • This rasam would be a great relief while we have cold or cough. It has all magic ingredients like pepper, garlic and ginger. Kids would like to have this rasam because it has orange, an excellent source of vitamin C and other minerals.
