Pepper Soup

This warming, South Indian soup is one of the best ways to ward off a cold and keep those chills at bay. It contains all the healing properties you need when you are feeling poorly, and helps line the stomach and aid digestion. It can be accompanied with plain rice or eaten on its own. Health conscious South Indians make a light meal of this easily digestible rasam. The tamarind, tomatoes and lime give it a piquant, tangy taste.
