Melissa (The Sword in the Scone) says
Hello! Your fruit cake looks delicious, but I was wondering if you could give me some insight on a particular Indian dish, rasam soup. I've been eating it at my favorite restaurant for years, but I don't know exactly what's in it. I know I taste tomatoes, tamarind, black pepper, and asafoetida. It is smooth and does not have chunks of vegetables or lentils in it. Can you tell me what variation this is and how to make it?
sinfullyspicy says
The cake looks totally yum Swathi.I love that u used figs in the fruit mix -Merry Christmas!
Sayantani says
