You call it turmeric latte I call it haldi wala doodh.Turmeric milk aka haldiwala doodh is an Indian house hold remedy known for years.Turmeric milk is a tried and trusted home remedy when it comes to combating common cold ,flu or for that sake any injury.Turmeric is well known for its anti-inflammatory and anti oxidant properties.I recently came to know from a friend that the doctors in western world even prescribe turmeric supplements.This is served as turmeric latte in the coffee shops.Apart from being an inevitable part of Indian cooking turmeric is also used as first aid for the kitchen cuts and bruises.
My memories of turmeric milk are mom and grand mom running behind to make me drink that glass of golden beauty.With a tightly held nose so that the weird smell of it doesn't effect my senses and drinking it to the last drop.After stepping into mummy shoes I realised how it was necessary to be a strict mother to protect your child.As much as I hated fresh turmeric then, I love it to the core now .May be that is what growing up to be mature.The seasonal change especially the transition from summer to winter brings along a bout of illness.
