Pineapple Rasam
Pineapple rasam is a special variety of rasam with distinct flavour and taste. It is a twist to the traditional one with littlebit of sourness and sweetness. Here in my place, I get a lot of pineapples at Rs 10 per fruit during the season. So I wanted to try something new with the pineapple. I remember having Pineapple rasam in many weddings. And I tried the same and it was yummy. This is such a flavourful, delicious rasam to have with papad and hot rice. Now everyone in the family are in love with this rasam.Some Rasam recipes to try from my blogParuppu RasamTomato RasamKollu Rasam
