Lemon ginger rasam

This version of lemon ginger rasam was concocted (by myself) when I fell severely ill due to catching a stomach bug and flu. I had severe nausea for several days with very high fever until I had the first serving of this rasam. The first serving of this rasam proved that it is anti-emetic, thus restoring my energy back from a debilitated being. It was great in reducing my flu symptoms too restoring life back to normalcy. It is super easy and super quick to make and heavenly to taste.
