Originally, making rasam is a tedious process..it will take atleast 30 minutes but the end result is you will have a great concoction!  Here is a simple and fast way to make a tasty rasam

Ingredients

4 cups of water
Tamarind  (Lemon size)
Inguva (1 pinch)
2 tsp Rasam powder
salt to taste
1 tsp Sugar or jaggery

Add all the ingredients one by one and let it boil for 15 minutes until it is reduced a little. Garnish it with chopped coriandar leaves and serve hot with rice.

Today before you think of saying an unkind word
Think of someone who can’t speak

Before you complain about the taste of your food
Think of someone who has nothing to eat

Before you complain about your husband or wife
Think of someone who’s crying out to God for a companion

Today before you complain about life
Think of someone who went too early to heaven

Before you complain about your children
Think of someone who desires children but they’re barren

Before you argue about your dirty house; someone didn’t clean or sweep
Think of the people who are living in the streets

Before whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet

And when you are tired and complain about your job
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down
Put a smile on your face and thank God you’re alive and still around
