India, July 7 -- My mother used to make turmeric halwa, but I didn't like it and rarely ate it. Since asthma runs in our family, I used to catch colds and coughs very easily. I clearly remember that a school trip was coming up in two weeks, but my cold, cough, and fever were so bad that my father refused to let me go. At that time, on my mother's insistence, I started taking one to one-and-a-half teaspoons of turmeric halwa every night with warm milk, and within 10 days I felt much better. Seeing my recovery, I was finally given permission to go on the trip. Even today, every winter I make this recipe and give it to my children like medicine, at least two or three times a week.
