Onion Mint Rasam | Onion Mint Soup

"Onion Mint rasam" is a simple rasam recipe with onion flavor primarily infused in it. Preparation of this rasam is slightly different from the regular rasam as here we temper first and then boil the tamarind water and rasam powder. Addition of mint leaves & carom seeds adds a perfect touch to this rasam.
