This Rasam is exclusive in taste ,and tastes different from the other rasams since no tamarind is added. Also since green chillies are added during seasoning , this lime rasam has an unique taste.The jeera and ginger paste used ,enhance the digestive properties of this Rasam .Lemon juice added ,makes this Rasam taste heavenly.
Lime Rasam can be drank directly or mixed with rice and consumed.

Oh wow!! You don't even need the usual Rasa-podi then!! Thatz really awesome! :-D How many hours will the rasam be good? Once we make it, we cannot store it in the fridge naa? I s'pose we must add the lime juice after boiling the amount we intend to eat/drink for that meal! And the portion of the rasam before adding the lime juice can be reheated and used I suppose?
Awesome post! Looking for some Microwave recipie as a next post from you!
