Recently when my friend visited Chennai, she was having lunch at her patti's house and the loving 90 year grandmother always amazes her by her simple yet tasty recipes. While she was there, we both were having a conversation on phone and she was telling about this Killu milagai Rasam | sathamudu. When she was telling about the simplicity of the recipe, i told her to record the rasam recipe in patti's voice. She did that and sent to me. The same day i made it and it was so delicious. I was amazed how a rasam can taste so yum without tomato, dal water, coriander leaves or rasam powder. Those days when there are so many members in the family, and it is difficult to financially afford for an elaborate meal with veggies, this rasam is a savior with minimum ingredients. Here comes the recipe of   Killu milagai rasam, from the kitchen of Rajalakhmi patti, fondly called as Raja Patti by her grand children.
