Today i am back with a special recipe from Karnataka. This is very close to my heart as it can be prepared within a short time with easily available ingredients in your pantry. I love to have it with Phulkas, rice and akki rotti. It is sweet and tangy a perfect balance of both to tickle your tastebuds. The main ingredient in this recipe that enhances the taste of this dish is Rasam powder. I always stock home made rasam powder. I just got my stock from my mom who specially made it for me during my visit to her place. Home made Rasam powder is always the best and i just love it.I use rasam powder in many recipes apart from making varieties of Rasam.This recipe if one of the specialities from the state of Karnataka. I am glad to be sharing this simple and yummy Gojju recipe with all my readers.This is one of the hot favorites with my family.
