Raw Mango Rasam

The Mango season has started. So today's post is a simple delicious rasam made out of Raw Mango (Green).

Getting onto the post, the amount of mango that you add depends on the kind of mango you have. I had a little yellowish raw mango. It was a little sweet than the usual green one. So I added about a cup of it. If you have the raw green one, then you can add as per the sourness you require.
