How to Prepare Haldi Doodh?
Here I will say, prepare the same way your grandmom/mom used to do. However, I would like to tell you what I do-
I simply take a pinch of turmeric and mix it in a glass of hot milk and I drink it before going to bed.
Note:
If you are consuming haldi doodh each night, please use the right amount of turmeric(a pinch). As the celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar says, benefits lies in use of turmeric milk and not in abuse.
Excess of everything is bad and it applies here as well.
