Who invented Rasam?

The traditional preparation of rasam is made with tamarind pulp and black pepper- both abundantly and natively available in South India. According to some other historical sources, the origin of rasam is in Madurai and it dates back to the 16^th century when the land was ruled by the Saurashtra rulers.

I found this very interesting post on the Health Site – 10 health benefits of Rasam
