#boxweek19 #drumstick - Rasam of all kinds are a must-have in any South Indian menu. So check out my version of Drumstick Rasam with a twist. The soup base was that of stock cube instead of water. It turned out simply delicious. I made some homemade Rasam paste with ground peppercorns, cumin seeds and some garlic. A nice hearty Rasam soup anytime is an awesome treat.

It can also be relished with some hot steamed rice & roasted papads as an accompaniment. Drumsticks has many health benefits as it contains vitamins and minerals. Hence it is particularly good during pregnancy. It is also good for the elderly as it is light on the yummy, aids in digestion and lowers blood sugar levels.
