Pacha Kollu Rasam | Horsegram Soup

Kollu Soup
My mom prepares this Pacha Kollu Rasam to treat cold and cough. This rasam is a savior during flu season. This rasam can be  taken as a side dish to Rice or even drink it as a Soup.  A very simple rasam - just grind all the ingredients and cook till raw smell goes off.  The specialty about this rasam is horse gram soaked for some time and ground directly without cooking it. Garlic, pepper added to rasam not only gives taste but also helps in curing cold. Please check below for step by step instructions and pictures for preparing South Indian Pacha Kollu Rasam - Horse gram soup.
