The idea of making a blog for iyer-rish samayal came while chatting with my sister this morning; since she lives in the US , it would be helpful for her as well as the young ladies around the globe missing mom’s food and also for those who’d love to try their hands on South Indian cuisine. So am starting off with art of making patti’s(Grandmom) rasam with a few updations for convenience sake. Here goes :
