Kasai
August 15, 2014
Kasai is a medicinal drink that is made in every Goan household especially during the flu season. The various spices and herbs used in this drink help to relieve symptoms of cold. It is a healthy substitute to tea or coffee on a regular basis. My motive of uploading this drink is so that this grandma's home remedy is preserved for the future generations.
