Pepper Rasam also called as Milagu Rasam is an authentic recipe of South India. I learnt this recipe from my Mom. It is a type of spicy hot soup, that is usually eaten with cooked rice. It is very tasty, easy to prepare and good for health. A cup of hot rasam helps to relieve common cold, sore throat and loss of appetite. Pepper helps the body to be active, healthy and alert. This rasam tastes heavenly, after heavy food like Non-Veg Biryanis. Enjoy the recipe of spicy pepper rasam here..:)
