Beetroot rasam



Rasam rice is a deadly combination with papad .Todays rasam is not only tasty but even healthy as it has beetroot as its main ingredient



A good way to make your kids eat beetroot.

While I was preparing the rasam itself, it was so flavorful and loved the aroma a lot. Beetroot rasam is one of the tastiest dishes that can be made from Beetroot. The dish is very easy to make and does not take long.
