Lemon rasam recipe, Nimmakaya charu, How to make lemon charu

Lemon rasam/charu is a must have recipe in my monthly cooking during summer as it is infused with tangy lemon flavor. This rasam is prepared using toor dal so i usually pressure cook little extra dal while making sambar so that i can make this delicious rasam. It is different from the regular rasam/charu and is good for health as well.
