RASAM RICE

This is no onion recipe which is a quick one.   One day when we came back from vacation there was no vegetables at home and we were not in a mood to have from hotel.   I had rasam powder in my fridge so I thought of preparing  a combination of rasam and rice.   We all were very hungry and every body liked it very much.  This is similar to Puliyogare but simple to prepare and  can be prepared easily for  lunch box for school kids.  In busy mornings instead of running around preparing rice, curry and side dishes  this can be prepared easily  and this makes  a complete meal.
