garlic, onion

Hello my dear vathsala30 Ji, We are North Indian with pure vegetarian back-ground. We never use garlic/onions in our kitchen. But Ginger is used for preparing tea at all times in addition to many other places for preparing curry. I kinow, if garlic was smell-less, would have been taken more than gold. It has lot many qualities to save many diseases. But we do not use. at all. May God bless You and have a great time.

Yep, I enjoy a lot adding garlic and onion to my dishes. When I prepare fried rice onion is a must. Also garlic is very good for health, not only tasty, so is perfect when I prepare meat.

All the three are very good for health, that is all I know. But I heard that people who do yoga should not eat onion and garlic, is it true? You have any idea? A particular caste people don't use onions and garlic.

Hi, vathsla30. Yes I do use garlic and onion in my foods when cooking. Mainly I use these on my meats and eggs as a seasoning. I hardly use ginger. I may have to use this when I am baking something sweet. I think that a few of my seasonings may have this flavor in it, but I am not that sure. Garlic and onion seasonings brings the foods texture out.

Someone is really do like the smell and can not use it. Especially in public place they can not eat them. I like to eat them and use it when i cook a meal.

Hi Friend, Normally i use all the three ginger,garlic and onions in my regular dishes. I dont like ginger that much.But i love onions and garlic a lot. Mostly my food i add these.Its so tasty.

Since these items are healthier ones, I try to make use of them to the extent possible. But it cannot be used for all items. Mostly side dishes for rotis, puris are ideal for making use of these items. Then for mixed rices like pulav, biryani can take these items. You seem to be a good cook vathsala30. Why not a get together in your house for all mylottees?

I use it all the times for all my cooking. At this present i also add herbs like lemon grass and parsley to make the dish even smelling good and taste nice.

I don't use ginger much, but I love Garlic and Onion! I love to add a bit of spiciness to my food. What types of Indian dishes do you make?

Hello Vathsala, I know nothing about the North Indian cooking or the South Indian cooking. But for sure, Ginger, onion and garlic are so useful in my cookery . Garlic is normally used in our daily dishes. We cook vegetables with garlic, some times, we do use garlic to cook some pork too. Garlic makes the food more fragrant. I like to add in some ginger to my dishes too to make the food more tasty. I took a lot ginger when I was on my confinement month. It is believed that ginger can make the body warm. Lastly, onion is used when I cook soup. I normally add some onions in my soup. Sometimes I fry the onions before add in the soup.

No I do not use ginger, garlic and onion in all dishes, especially I avoid using them on certain specified days also. I use them only when I am making a side dish for chappathi mainly.

I use garlic and onion quite often when I cook, but I don't usually use ginger. There are only a few recipes that I use that call for ginger. My brother is more of a gourmet cook, though, and he uses all three depending upon the recipe.

yes, i use ginger, garlic and onion in all our cooking items, mostly i use garlic in daals and fried rice, biryani like that. my son likes garlic very much. daily i use both ingredients. thankyou have a nice day.

I Vathsala aunty i use ginger, garlic and onion in all my cooking items daily. Without these ingridents the day doesnt start

Ginger, garlic and onion are staples. I always have them and I always use them, however I bleleive that there are a lot of aromatics that get overlooked because of the populartiy of these three. Celery, peppers, leeks, and fennel can all make things taste great if you use them for the right things.

hi vathsala30 I use a lot of onion and garlic in making my favorite italian pasta dishes, rather I did before we lost our apartment now I eat here with the others in Gold Crest a retirement center. i have never used much ginger although I know it is really good for us too as is garlic. we americans love our pasta with plenty of garlic in it.

I use onions in all my dishes because first of all it is very tasty in a food while frying it deep brown then it brings aroma, and ginger and garlic are very good for health too so I make sure to use this combination in all my food while I cook. Garlic is best to control Blood pressure and ginger is good to help digestion.

I can´t cook without onion and garlic. And I don´t know the indian cuisine although I have eaten it a couple of times and find it wonderful. As for ginger, I use it in some dishes. In my country fresh ginger is hard to get and not very cheap. So it´s not worth it.

I use garlic a lot in my cooking, I think it's a great addition to most dishes. I also like to use some crushed black pepper and various herbs to give the food more flavour. I should use onion more often in my cooking though. Having a good spice rack and a good herb rack is a must in any kitchen. Cooking with natural ingredients is so much tastier and rewarding than putting processed food in the microwave or oven.
