Extremely simple yet tasty coconut milk rasam that has mild sweetness from the coconut and lightly spicy from green chili. Kobbari charu, as we call in Telugu, is a vegan rasam recipe that doesn’t use any rasam powder or souring agents like tamarind or tomatoes.This coconut milk rasam is my mother’s recipe and can be prepared in just 5 minutes if you have coconut milk ready.
