Kugan, thank you very much for all the nice recipes.
I remember my grandmother making the nandu rasam.
Nowadays nobody makes this type of rasams.
Thank you for reviving the old recipes.

Hello nga TM.....nalla sirichen after reading part of your post...

For cold some of the tips that I follow are below.....:
a) Plenty of warm water...keep sipping on & often.
b) More warm water with smashed ginger in it....boil panni kudichaa more effect.
c) No milk/ no tomato/ no creamy soups......only clear soups with a lot of black pepper.....milagu rasam & potato is all time fav of mine too like madhu sree said
d) broil (dry roast) black pepper & cummin seeds...1/2 : 1....add 1 & half cups of water...boil it & then let it simmer till the water gets to to 3/4 or if u like more stronger...1/2 cup...ithai sip this water on & often.
e) ginger thogayal without coconut
f) IF you are having non vegetarian food then have it with a lot of black pepper...(this is hear say only)..I would not know.
g) tea varieties la : mint tea/ ginger & lemon/ masala tea (all without milk)
h) 1 teaspoon of pure honey early morning is good too.
I)....most of all gargle mouth with salt water (warm enough) morning & evening without fail....
Ithu enaku therinja sila vazhigal.....hope a few helps your friend..nga..
