turmeric spiced fried eggs (AKA: Immunity Eggs)

We’re strengthening the immune system anyway we possibly can right now. As the saying goes…

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”

I believe, it’s our responsibility to build immunity and start fighting the cold and flu way way way WAY before the cold or flu has a chance to set in. Actually, I’ll just say we should always be supporting our immunity. Full stop. There’s a funny blame game that happens when this cold and flu season sets in. “I was hanging out with X and he/she was coughing, must be their fault.” This very sentence is ridiculous, although believe me I’ve said it many a times before.

There are so many foods we can eat to help our bodies during this time. I’ve made a mashup of a dish, that’s not a slow cooked soup, which can be made very quickly and still hit us with some turmeric, ginger and garlic. If you want an extra hit, add some chilli too.
