We get good number of passion fruits from a climber
plant in our garden. One day, a question rose in my mind that why we can’t use
these fruits for anything other than juice and cakes. I thought it can be used
very similar to pineapple as tangy taste resembles one another. So very next
day I had the simplest, quick recipe of passion fruit rasam in my hand. The
taste was amazing and it repeated many times thereafter as it takes just 5-10
mins to prepare. It acts as a good appetizer too.
