Kashayam for cold, cough and fever

1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tsp whole black pepper
1 tsp coriander seeds
1 tsp ajwain

Dry roast all the above until they have the crackling sound.

2 cups water
1/4 tsp turmeric powder

Add water, turmeric powder, allow to boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.

1 tbsp freshly grated ginger

Add ginger and simmer for 5 more minutes.

1 tsp jaggery

Add jaggery, mix well. Turn off the stove. I usually leave it for 10 more in the same dish so that it will cool down at the same time, the flavors will mix in.

Filter and drink.
