With swine flu still dominating the news it has become difficult to distinguish between the regular flu (Influenza) and Swine Flu. Lot of preventive advice is being given to keep the H1N1 at bay, adding to the confusion. Here, meanwhile flu like diseases are at its peak. Cold, cough, sore throat, fever…you name it and we have it! One of the home remedy traditionally used for Cough, cold, sore throat, bodyache and other such infections is this age old Kadha; a Marathi word for ‘Herbal Tea’. This was my grandmother’s classic medicine when we were growing up; though at that…
Monsoon Magic
Veg Soup for the Soul
This is one of my favourite soups. Simple and Easy to make…Simply delicious. No specific measurements, just add your favourite veggies I have used :
Monsoon Magic- Butterfly Sandwich
The only butterfly in this sandwich is the shape J A hot grilled sandwich is an all time favourite in our house. I usually dress up some left over stir fries with white sauce- stuff it in between two slices of bread and grill it till crisp and you get Irresistible, yummy crisp sandwiches.

Enjoy this hot grilled Butterfly sandwich with a cup of tea in the wet cozy rainy weather!
