My mother-in-law loves to call it by this name. Light on the stomach and very tasty too. Its also so easy to make. Another important point she told me was that this dish is so good for a hot summer afternoon. It is supposed to cool the body system and she insisted that I prepare this and feed ourselves this super delicious rasam at least once a week in summer months.
