Highlights

As the cold sheath of fog envelopes the country, we are busy prepping up for the season change that almost caught us off guard. Let's admit, the winter did arrive early this year, and now we are left with no choice but to make necessary changes to our diet. It is time to do away with cold water. Ice cream, chilled milkshakes or cold coffees are not encouraged either. It is time to bring back the 'winter foods' that have kept us cosy and warm all these years. If you have grown up in India, you must be privy to all the laddoos that are made especially during the winters. Kids dig them, so do the grown-ups. But to think of these ladoos as mere desserts is a gross mistake. Most of these ladoos pack a treasure of nutrients that may help ward off the risk of cold and flu. Here are five of our favourites that we cannot wait to make.
