    This pepper rasam looks so delicious and comforting. I am from North India that too from the Himalayas but my father learned different rasam recipes from someone and used to make it once every week when we were kids. We used to enjoy Rasam as a spicy flavourful soup on cold Himalayan nights. Can’t wait to try this recipe and serve my father some pepper rasam.

    We love tomato rasam and make it at least 1-2 times a week. I tried your version with peppercorns and it was absolutely amazing. Thank you for this recipe.
