Mangai Rasam | Raw Mango Rasam

Mangai rasam or raw mango rasam is a delectable and easy to make South Indian rasam variety. In this rasam instead of tamarind extract, we use raw mangoes for sourness.

I have made this rasam without adding dhal but if you like you can add it. I have used kili mooku mangai (Totapuri) variety. Check out how to make this tasty and traditional mangai rasam below.
