Mumbai weather once again is oscillating between cool winds, unseasonal showers, and sudden rises in temperatures. These changes in the weather have again brought on a wave of common colds and flu. While cold medicines, home remedies and kadhas are our go-tos to seek relief from runny nose, headaches and coughing, comfort foods during this time offer a different kind of satisfaction.
From slurping on piping hot tomato soup to eating freshly prepared dal khichdi, the common cold and flu make for a perfect reason to seek comfort in simple foods.
However, if you are looking for some innovation and twists in regular comfort foods, we have chefs sharing easy recipes on a platter.
