Garlic is the essential partner to ginger in Indian cooking — blend together for a classic ginger-garlic paste that forms the base of most curries and marinades. Finely chop or crush for tadka (tempering) in dal and sabzis, roast whole cloves in olive oil for a sweet, mellow roasted garlic, or blend into garlic chutney with chilli and tamarind. Use in garlic naan, garlic butter, and pasta sauces.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight — whole bulbs keep well for 3–4 weeks. Once broken into cloves, use within 1–2 weeks. Do not refrigerate whole garlic as moisture causes mould. Peeled cloves can be stored in oil in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Q: How long does prepackaged garlic last?
A: When stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, pre-packed garlic keeps well for 3–4 weeks. Once broken into individual cloves, use within 1–2 weeks for best flavour.
Q: What are the health benefits of garlic?
A: Garlic contains allicin — a powerful antimicrobial compound that supports immune function, heart health, and has anti-inflammatory properties. It is also rich in vitamins B6 and C, manganese, and selenium.
