This is one of the dish i love to have... Simple and easy to make with just fewer ingredients. I remember, the first time i tasted this dish was at my Grandmother's Place (A village near Kumbakonam)..... Needless to mention, She is an excellent cook! I love all her dishes, and even a simple rasam would taste heavenly when made by her...
Here is the recipe!
