I would like to dedicate this post is to my grandmother from whom I got this recipe. This recipe uses the green moong which is packed with proteins and other valuable nutrients. I always relish this rasam along with rice, and a bowl of curds. It makes a healthy, tasty and a satisfying meal. This rasam is so tasty that you end up eating more rice than usual. So here goes the recipe.
