C for Charu Podi Andhra Style Rasam Powder
The reference to charu (rasam) at our home makes people really really happy especially my mother in law and myself. Both of us are such ardent fans of the humble dish that people long for some every second day. My childhood, I recall drinking a little glass of charu for supperOrsupper would be a usual ritual for me personally and my father.Nothing can beat the freshness of homemade rasam powder with no work one can produce a big batch and store in airtight containers. It's shelf existence is very lengthy - 6 several weeks or even more. Believe me, when you get this to version, you won't ever ever return to commercially made rasam powder again.
