00:00She loves turmeric. My name is Maitley. I'm from India, Bangalore. I have been a
00:08mom for 32 years. Today I'm going to make malah pala, which is also known as
00:17pepper milk.
00:23I have boiled the milk. The first ingredient you added to the milk is
00:28turmeric and it's a quarter teaspoon for a glass of milk and next ingredient is
00:35black pepper powder, which is also like quarter teaspoon and a pinch of saffron.
00:42Give it a stir nicely. If you want little bit sweet, you can add sugar. We use
00:49turmeric for the little babies. Every other day we give them. It really builds
00:54their immune system and they will not catch cough or cold that easily. In India,
01:00we drink this because in olden days, you know, in villages, we didn't have any
01:05doctors available immediately. So we used whatever we had in the house. Our
01:11children, they said, oh, this won't help, but they did try it out. They did have said,
01:15Amma, you were right. We did help us. Try the home remedies first. Who is it?
01:22Yum. Feels so good. Your mother is always right. That's for sure.
01:29I hope my husband heard it.
