#myhealthykitchen - Experimented with a new combination of black grapes and gooseberry to make this amazing rasam soup. It turned out real lip smacking with a slight hint of sweetness and tanginess mixed together. You can go easy in the use of pepper to make it equally spicy too. Well, you can relish it with plain steamed rice for a great comfort meal or can enjoy as a piping hot soup, especially during a cold winter night. So Bon Appetit !!!
