Turmeric Ginger Tea
In a saucepan, bring one cup of water to a boil, add half an inch of grated ginger and a pinch of turmeric powder. Let it simmer for 5 minutes. Strain the mixture, add honey for sweetness, and a squeeze of lemon for extra vitamin C.
Vegetable Soup
Prepare a flavorful broth using seasonal vegetables like carrots, spinach, bell peppers, and tomatoes. You can add some garlic and onion for an extra immune boost. These veggies are rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Spiced Khichdi
In a pressure cooker, combine equal parts of rice and lentils (moong dal). Add cumin seeds, a pinch of asafoetida, turmeric, and chopped vegetables like carrots, peas, and potatoes. Cook until well-done.
Vitamin C-Rich Fruit Salad
Mix together fruits like oranges, kiwis, strawberries, and papayas. These fruits are loaded with vitamin C, which strengthens the immune system and protects you from infections. Add a sprinkle of chaat masala or a drizzle of honey for an extra zing.
Garlic-infused Stir-fry
Prepare a delicious stir-fry using your favourite vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Add minced garlic to the mix and sauté until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
