When temperatures drop suddenly due to rain during the monsoon season, we are more susceptible to seasonal infections. A good old kettle keeps us warm from the inside and gives us absolute comfort. Paya soup is a delicious, nutrient-rich soup that is often eaten during the monsoon and winter seasons. Lamb stew is made with the broth of lamb (lamb’s leg) which is rich in amino acids, calcium, protein and other important nutrients. This is the ideal dish to enjoy on cool evenings when it’s raining outside and feeling the chill of the wind.
