Rasam is a one of the popular accomplishment in south india. Before and all , rasam will be prepared in our house daily for lunch along with any sambhar or vathakuzhambu or any other kuzhambu varieties.

Rasam is very easy to prepare and it is healthy too. There are variety of rasam like pepper rasam, garlic rasam, tomato rasam etc., This coconut rasam is a very tasty rasam variety that mom makes occasionally.

In simple in this recipe I have used coconut milk instead of dhal water.

 Generally rasam should not boil for more time. Just boil till it gets froths is enough. Also we have to close the rasam immediately to lock its flavor.
