Before the winter arrives we will be ready with the moisturisers, lip balms , hair oils , foot scrubs and all the skin care products also home remdies for our beautiful skin.
But do we think of winter attacking our health? We medicate ourselves after catching cold and fever, but never prevent them :). According to me , including health oriented diet is the best way.

So today I have a chutney recipe prepared from sambar balli (Indian Borage) or dodda patre which is a medicinal herb grown in every garden and pots and main ingredient in nature science. Its medicinal value is similar to Tulsi( Holy Basil). It is the best food for cold weather keeping you warm to tackle from cold.

This chutney or its thampu hulli included in your diet twice a week in winters, will keep you healthy and resists against germs.
