Pepper Rasam recipe, Milagu rasam, Miriyala Charu (with video)

Pepper rasam/ Miryala charu is a very quick and easy to prepare recipe that is very essential during winters as it helps in soothing cold and throat pain. This tangy, spicy and flavorful rasam is made with pepper, garlic, cumin seeds, tamarind, tomato and few other basic ingredients to add taste to this rasam. This rasam comes as pure bliss when served with hot rice and potato poriyal in this cold climate and is always given a priority place in my cooking list specially during winters. For the below recipe i used hand mortor and pestel for grinding, if you don’t have it you can grind them in blender as well. As I always say everyone’s cooking is different so is mine and the below recipe is what I learnt from my MIL and trust me if she makes rasam I can have it all day.
