I usually prepare rasam with more water consistency irrespective of it’s types. The reason behind it is, most of the time I drink it directly instead of having with rice. Again the ‘most of the time drinking’ goes good with garlic rasam. I personally feel that I enjoy the aroma of fried garlics only when I drink. You just give try and I’m sure you enjoy a lot.
Garlic, a natural antibiotic is used for fighting against heart disease and lowering blood pressure. It is also widely prepared and served in south India for the people fell ill with cold and flu. A very basic and quick remedy for cold is drinking the garlic rasam.
