Drumstick Rasam

#boxweek19 #drumstick - Rasam of all kinds are a must-have in any South Indian menu. So check out my version of Drumstick Rasam with a twist. The soup base was that of stock cube instead of water. It turned out simply delicious. I made some homemade Rasam paste with ground peppercorns, cumin seeds and some garlic. A nice hearty Rasam soup anytime is an awesome treat.
