Miriyala Charu || Pepper Rasam || Milagu Rasam || Andhra miriyala charu in just 15 minutes without using rasam powder

Miriyala charu || pepper rasam || milagu rasam with step by step pics and tips. Today's recipe is  South Indian popular rasam variety - pepper rasam using tomatoes, garlic and without using rasam powder and dal/ pappu / paruppu just in 15 min. It is very aromatic, tangy and healthy rasam, as season changed we are getting lots of health issues mainly cold, cough and fever. Miriyala charu / pepper rasam is the best option to cure it. Whenever i am down with cold i prepare this miriyala charu as it is very easy to prepare in 15 minutes and gives very  relief from cold. Pepper, cumin and garlic are the 3 key ingredients to prepare this rasam. No need to add rasam powder to this pepper rasam, adding dal is optional. I always cook dal / mudda pappu separately as hubby like to mix dal and rasam with lots of ghee. It can be prepared in many variations, the one i am sharing here is the easy and fast process. Also check drumstick rasam, surely you will like it.

 Taking this aromatic pepper rasam / miriyala charu to #FoodieMondayBloghop fb group's  #214 #RasamRaaga theme.
