Chicken Rasam (Tangy and spicy chicken Soup ) ~ Could and cough remedy
I remember making Chicken Rasam at my moms kitchen years back. We had some leftover chicken stock and I had this sudden plan of using it for Rasam and it was so yummm that we had it for rice and drank all the leftover. Since then, whenever anybody in house gets cold/cough, we make this soup and drink with some extra dose of pepper. It healthy and tasty too.
