Today's Tip: All about Garlic...

We all know the health benefits of Garlic. If you want to read more about it you can find several hundred articles by doing a search on Google. Ginger and Garlic are key ingredients to any Indian dish and most people DO NOT want to spend 30 minutes peeling fresh garlic so they use the ready made garlic paste etc. Another negative is that your hands smell like garlic all day no matter how many times you wash them and that can be a put-off for some. Although it is okay to use the packaged paste, I like to use fresh whenever possible and it does alter the final taste, fresh garlic equals better tasting dish. I have observed so many people skipping this step so here are some simple, easy and quick ways to peel it.


1. Microwave garlic cloves for 15 seconds and the skins slip right off. As simple as that.

2. Put the garlic cloves in a dish towel and fold over the garlic. Now tap it a few times over your kitchen counter, the garlic separates from the peel.
