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?


myLot reputation of 98/100. vathsala30 (606)   ranked 1,819 out of 11,182 in cooking  3 months ago

I make spicy potato curry, spicy cauliflower and potato curry, chana masala and chole as a side dish for chapati and poori. spicy mixed vegetables,and varieties of curries and raithas and parathas, sambars, rasams and soups. I can make Rasam out of neem flowers, which is not only tasty but good for health, good for Diabetic patients, and kills intestinal worms. We can mix it with Rice or we can drink it like soup. For Breakfast i will make Idli, varieties of dosa, varieties of Uppma, and Pongal, for which coconut or onion chutney will go well.The list goes on like this. There is no end lest you may be feeling bored.

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.


myLot reputation of 98/100. vathsala30 (606)   ranked 1,819 out of 11,182 in cooking  3 months ago

The taste and smell of onion and garlic is unique and nice. Anybody will easily like them

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.


myLot reputation of 98/100. vathsala30 (606)   ranked 1,819 out of 11,182 in cooking  3 months ago

I too add onions to my soup but not to mushroom or sweet corn soup. Only for Tomato Soup. For Pulao, i use ginger-garlic paste which while frying gives a nice aroma. Garlic is supposed to reduce our BP while ginger helps in digestion. People who suffer from loss of appetite and indigestion, should take ginger juice made of raw ginger juice, boiled with 1 glass of water and a little jaggery for a while and strain and drink adding a pinch of salt. Immediately a belch comes. That means the juice is digested. After some time simply we feel hungry


myLot reputation of 99/100. vingyan06 (1251)   ranked 611 out of 11,182 in cooking  3 months ago

Hi again,

I cook tomato soup too. My kids like this soup. Beside tomatoes, I put carrots, potatoes and some onion and cook everything with pork rib. We called this soup as ABC soup.

I never know ginger is good for digestion. But my mom do tell me that take too much of ginger will cause constipation.


myLot reputation of 98/100. vathsala30 (606)   ranked 1,819 out of 11,182 in cooking  3 months ago

Hi again
For tomato soup I too add onion and carrots with a little cinnamon and clove and pressure cook. Then i will strain, add salt again cook for 1 minute. Then remove from the fire, add fresh coriander leaves, bread crumbs fried in ghee. This is my way of cooking Tomato Soup. We do not take NV. Not even egg. How do you cook Tomato Soup?

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.


myLot reputation of 98/100. vathsala30 (606)   ranked 1,819 out of 11,182 in cooking  3 months ago

you are right. i agree

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.


myLot reputation of 98/100. vathsala30 (606)   ranked 1,819 out of 11,182 in cooking  3 months ago

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.


myLot reputation of 98/100. vathsala30 (606)   ranked 1,819 out of 11,182 in cooking  3 months ago

I also use it for the side dish for Chappathi and Veg. Pulao. My ML do not take them. So whenever she is around, we wont cook garlic and onion

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.


myLot reputation of 98/100. vathsala30 (606)   ranked 1,819 out of 11,182 in cooking  3 months ago

We have lemon grass in our Garden. I make juice out of it by crushing it in the mixer along with 1 glass of water, lemon juice, sugar and a little ginger juice for good health

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?


myLot reputation of 98/100. vathsala30 (606)   ranked 1,819 out of 11,182 in cooking  3 months ago

I am ready to arrange for a get together provided all my mylotters wish to join me in the same and my dream is also the same and trust one day my dream becomes true

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.


myLot reputation of 98/100. vathsala30 (606)   ranked 1,819 out of 11,182 in cooking  2 months ago

ginger is a good appetiser. For the indigestion problem, just crush it add 1 cup of water, little jaggery and boil it. add 1 pinch of salt, strain the concoction and drink. you will get one belch and indigestion is gone. For any spicy curries, simply paste, ginger, garlic, green pepper, onion, tomato, curry leaf, fresh coriander leaf and fresh coconut, and fry this paste with little oil and then add single or assorted fresh green vegetables,add salt and turmeric powder and cook dry curry. this goes well with any rotis, dosas(pan cake) chappati and sandwich

Garlic is very good for health. it checks our BP, removes gas from the stomach and helps producing milk for the nursing mothers besides it is very tasty. We can make garlic masala powder also. It easily goes well with all the vegetarian and NV dishes. I like Malabar garlic which is very big and can be eaten just like any other vegetable
