chitrannaa.blogspot.com

This is the most delicious and healthy rasam or Sambar which is savoured during the mango season in summer. The raw mango which is very rich in vitamin A and vitamin E prevents the excessive loss of water from the body and also helps to quench the thirst.

Basically this Saaru is prepared with midigai but tastes equally good with any raw mango.



Preparation Time : 5 Minutes
Cooking Time       : 15 Minutes






Ingredients :

• Raw Mango                 1 big
