Holige sAru / Rasam is a very popular festival dish. This rasam is generally prepared using the filling (hUranNa) which we make for obbattu/Holige. This hUraNa Rasam is a very traditional dish.Popularly known as obbattina sAru.
Since we use the hUrana/filling for this recipe, please refer to “beLe Obbattu /Puran poLi recipe”. Though using huraNa from puran poLi is preferred, the rasam will still taste good without it.
We are making rasam for 2-2.5 cups of water.
