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.
Q: Is small garlic less potent than larger bulbs?
A: No — smaller garlic bulbs offer the same pungent flavour and full health benefits as larger ones. Size does not affect potency or nutritional value.
Q: How should I store prepackaged garlic?
A: Store in a cool, dry area away from sunlight and moisture. A well-ventilated spot on the kitchen counter or in a cupboard is ideal. Avoid the refrigerator as moisture causes mould.
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.
