I had seen this recipe on an Instagram reel and saved it to try someday..
This popular South Indian dish, Rasam means “juice” in Tamil.

In Southern India this delicacy is usually served along with steamed rice or as a drink,it is known to cool your stomach from within.

With lots of raw mangoes available in market, trying this recipe turned out to be not only interesting but also soul-refreshing.

I was a little skeptical to have it with rice as it is not served hot but at room temperature, but trust me tastes amazing with hot steamed rice.

So, if you are looking to make a new recipe using raw mangoes this summer,do give it a try…
