Ayurveda recognizes garlic as blood purifier. It is a powerful natural antibiotic. Garlic has healing and medicinal properties and comes into the category of Rajasic food. The taste of garlic is pungent and carries heat energetic effect in the GI tract.
Now comes to the garlic recipe, Tambuli or tambli is a type of raita , a healthy recipe of Karnataka. This is a part of everyday meal in malnad, udupi region. Most importantly, it is a curd based cuisine. Usually it is served with hot rice along with rasam or sambar. Further more the word “tambuli” is derived from Kannada word, which means “tampada huli”. This makes the body cool. Hence it is a healthy recipe.
Further this is a simple recipe, easy to make and tastes excellent. Even more this tambuli is a perfect side dish with rice. In this garlic tambuli, I have used garlic cloves, cumin, red chilli along with grated coconut. Firstly, roast garlic cloves, cumin and red chilli with ghee slightly. Further blend this with grated coconut and mix with buttermilk or curd. It is always better to use buttermilk rather than curd/yogurt. Because buttermilk is most healthier than curd.
While garlic is loaded with healthy nutrients. It’s low in calorie and low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium. It is an excellent source of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine). It is also a very good source of manganese, selenium and vitamin C. In addition garlic is a good source of other minerals like phosphorus, calcium, potassium, iron and copper. Most importantly, it is a healing herb which cures many health problems.
