Milagu rasam / Pepper Rasam is a spicy variant of south Indian rasam recipes and it is often used to alleviate the symptoms of common cold. I remember my grandma making me milagu rasam for cold. The spiciness of the pepper in this recipe also make this rasam easily pair able with several kootu / poriyal. Another advantage of making rasam is that it can be made quickly. The recipe hardly takes 10 minutes and only uses a handful of ingredients.
