Recipe of the week: Ayurvedic “Jewish penicillin” • This nourishing and spicy broth is my favourite meal to prepare for the family when they need a boost, says Dr Rupy Aujla. It has a great collection of polyphenol-rich spices, anti-viral allium vegetables and plenty of warming flavours. I prefer to keep the cloves and peppercorns whole, but feel free to remove them before serving.
