About Me

My photo
I am posting in this blog ,recipes which my 87 years old mother used in her cooking. Some of these are her own, some from her friends,some hand me downs from her elders etc etc. So the variety is awesome and as an admirer of his grandma's cooking, my son Arvind created this blog so that my mother's age old recipes can be shared with one and all .I have also posted some of my "tried and tested" recipes, especially the Non-vegetarian ones.I thought a purely vegetarian recipes' blog can be made more interesting with some non-veg recipes thrown inbetween.

A remedy for Common C old

Here is a simple and quick relief for the common cold. Here's how:

In 2 cups of water add 2 tsp of dry ginger powder and 1/2 teaspoon of crushed pepper.Add jaggery and keep on sim flame. Let this keep boiling till the liquid mixture reduces to half quantity (1 cup).
Now remove from flame, take some of this in a cup and top it with hot milk (like tea decoction and milk).Sip slowly. You will find relief. Take this for 3 days atleast 3 or 4 times a day.
Quantity of pepper and dry ginger can be adjusted according to taste if you find it very "thikka" (hot).
