This is a typical TamBrahm rasam....I am 100% sure, it is not made in other households...My friend always says, in my house, I make several types of rasams, whereas, everyday she makes rasam with crushed garlic only...Hot rasam mixed with steaming rice, white or brown, with an appalam and a veg curry is heavenly!!!
