KASHAYAM (KADA)

Kashayam, or kada it is known as is a simple preparation with the ingredients are easily available at home.  Tulsi, ajwain patta, ajwain, garlic, ginger, cumin seeds etc. are cooked in water, strained and served immediately.

This kashayam is good to serve when you are  suffering from cough and cold.  My son always prefer to drink this rather than going to a doctor and taking medicines.

 The ingredients included in this is very helpful for digestion, cough and cold.  Now the season demands as my son has gone for playing football in the heavy rain today,.   to tell you since yesterday night it is pouring but today non stop it was raining and i also took the video of the rain as i love the nature very much.  a view from my balcony during rainy season with a cup of tea in my hand, hours together i can sit watching the rain and the nature.

I have panikoorka elai (ajwain plant), basil, tulsi, vettila, (bettle leaf) in my balcony.  So it is easy for me to make the same at home.

Kashayam, kada is made by mother in law especially during rainy season.  she also made it a practice in her house to make the same every Sunday and used to give to her children.  after my marriage, once when she gave me this, I was bit reluctant to drink it.  However, after having the same, I liked it and every Sunday, I made it a point to make it. In olden days, our parents and grand parents adopted to these kind of medicines only and the trend is not followed now a days.
