More Rasam - Buttermilk Rasam

This is my paati's recipe, a different type of Rasam made with buttermilk and freshly ground spices. Can be prepared in a jiffy. Serve with rice and ghee.
My paati loves to try out new recipes and I am trying to collect all her signature dishes to document in my blog. She is an awesome chef and I just love her flavors.
