Garlic Rasam Recipe: Preparation & How to Make Poondu Rasam

The unique, and might we say, bold flavour of garlic could transform any food into a flavoursome one. Garlic is widely known for the presence of the sulfur compound namely allicin. In fact, a little-known fact about this root is that the sulfur compound can help improve iron metabolism. Researchers have called garlic a ‘seleniferous’ plant because it is a rich source of selenium. We have merged this extremely flavourful root in the traditional rasam to yield garlic rasam. Totally try worthy!
