Healthy Diet: Make Shorba – The Healthful Stew – At Home With These Easy Recipes

Shorba is a hot stew, basically soup stock that is a popular side dish in many Middle-Eastern and Asian cuisines. Shorba got its name from Arabic word, 'Shurbah', which means soup. It is a rich, thick broth prepared after simmering meat or vegetable for a long time and separating the liquid from them. It is flavoured with strong herbs and curry spices, and unlike soup, it is served as an accompaniment with the main meals instead of serving beforehand. Since, it sucks out the deep flavours and nutrients of the food it is made with, it is considered as a super healthy drink, especially to cure runny nose, sore throat and other infections. Although, shorba is traditionally prepared with meats but many vegetarian adaptations are also made that are equally delightful.

As the weather is steering towards colder days, the transformation poses the risk of catching common infections. With the sudden nip in the air, it would be a great idea to include shorba in your regular diet to protect yourself and ward off diseases in a natural way. Since, shorba is impressively delicious anyway, it is really worth it.
