Garlic Rasam Recipe | Tangy Garlic Soup Recipe – A Guest Post For Ambika’s Kitchen

Hi, first I would like to thank Ambika for giving me this wonderful opportunity to write my first guest post! I was honored and so happy when she asked me if I could write guest post in her blog.

Way back when some of my other blogger friends requested me to write guest post; I felt then that, I have to go long way and need to learn more about blogging and art of writing and I expressed them that I’m not ready then for a guest post; I was really dumbstruck then… thinking if I could ever write one? Ambika requested me couple of times since then, this time I didn’t want to miss this opportunity so I decided, I should now 🙂 Then when I said I will do it after couple of months … she accepted it without any second thought, she is so humble and sweet☺. Thanks so much Ambika for having me share my little knowledge in your beautiful this space of yours and thanks for being patient with me!


Great! Now coming the difficult part, I shouldn’t mess up, have to do my best in pictures, writing and each and every minute step must be my best, so first which recipe to share? Suddenly I remembered that Ambika had requested me to post garlic rasam. Hmmm… what better can I write? I remember she once said, that the best rasam she ever had was the one from a hotel in palakkad (South India). So I’m not sure if I can reach closer to the born talent of those great chefs, but I will try my level best to explain my version of garlic rasam and hope she will like it ☺, we will know it soon â˜º
To see more of the post, recipe and pictures, pls head over to Ambika’s Kitchen 

I am adding a recipe card below for some readers who requested for the same 🙂
