This Andhra style rasam is like a big daddy of all rasams you have ever tasted – spicy to its core and loaded with flavors of garlic, tamarind and various other spices. As with all its siblings, garlic rasam is best enjoyed when served with a steamed rice, papad, poriyal and a delicious chutney. Try it during a winter and see how your body heats up from inside! This spicy South Indian fare is also known as Poondu Rasam in Tamilnadu.

I tried this recipe out today since I am having a bad cold and fever. It came out very well. Initially I couldn't taste anything as my taste-buds ceased to function but the spicy, peppery, garlicky flavours worked their magic and I'm feeling so much better now. Thanks.
