I learnt this recipe for Udupi Rasam from my friend Anupama Michael.
This hearty rasam is made with a paste of slow roasted spices that gives it a robust flavour. I enjoy hot with rice and papad.

I learnt this recipe for Idli Upkari from Anupama Michael, my friend from school days.

I love yogurt and yogurt based dishes as can be seen from my recipes for Balaee and Moong Dal Palak Khichdi cooked in buttermilk. So I am always on the lookout for new yogurt-based recipes.
