Kandathippili Rasam

Kandathippili is medicinal food. It’s also called as Indian Long Pepper. This is my first time dish with kandathippli. But this rasam came out very well. The aroma from this rasam is really superb!

It helps to prevent cold, sore throat, body pain, fever and for indigestion. If u get this spices try to make this healthy rasam. It’s really good for health. This goes well with papad and toor dal thuvaiyal.
