Sambrasam#SoupSwappers

This is a fusion of sambar & rasam, really so very de ..ee ..licious, it has a tangy, peppery garlic flavor. It so simple to make and once you taste it, your addict to it and will have more servings. 
A super delicious, lip-smacking meal, that goes perfectly well with rice, idli or dosa . In this recipe the use of turmeric is more, so do use it as given in the ingredients list.
