Do you know the right way to cook with garlic?

When it comes to cooking, ginger and garlic are two of the important ingredients that can enhance the culinary experience. For the uninitiated, they not only improve taste but are loaded with health benefits too.

But do you know that to make the most of them, you need to use them in a certain way? According to a video posted on Instagram by nutritionist Ridhima Batra, one should never use garlic cloves directly for cooking.

In the video, she states that you should never use the garlic cloves directly. Rather, cut, chop, or mince the garlic and let it rest for 10 minutes before cooking. This helps in activating the enzyme called alliinase, which gets converted into alliin and then into allicin.

It is said that the active enzyme allicin helps prevent cancer, lowers blood cholesterol levels and blood sugar levels, and even controls blood pressure.

In the same video, she also says that with allicin, we have another potent compound called ajoene that has an anti-platelet effect, which helps prevent coronary heart disease.

So, next time, when you add garlic to your food, make sure to chop or mince it, let it rest, and then only use it. Also, take a look at the other benefits of garlic.

Improved brain functioning
It is rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties, which help improve brain function.

Improve digestion                                                                                                                                                                            Eating raw garlic boosts the intestine and reduces inflammation, which further boosts digestive health.

Boost immunity

Garlic protects against free radicals, prevents damage to the DNA, and further boosts immunity.

Good for skin

Garlic helps prevent acne and also lightens acne scars.

To prepare this delightful Nutella French Toast, start by whisking together milk, cornstarch, ground flaxseeds, baking powder, and vanilla in a shallow bowl. Melt butter in a pan over medium-high heat and whisk the batter again before dipping each side of the bread into it. Let the bread soak for about 10 seconds, then cook it in the pan for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Add more butter as needed between bread slices. Serve the scrumptious French Toast with a generous spread of Nutella and fresh fruit. For an extra treat, pair it with a refreshing berry smoothie. (Recipe courtesy: Chef Vikas Khanna)

  • Step 1 Mix the dry ingredients

    In a bowl, add rolled oats, oats flour, refined flour, powdered sugar, baking soda, baking powder, raisins, crushed cashews and crushed almonds. Mix the dry ingredients well.

  • Step 2 Add the wet ingredients

    Now add honey and mix it. Add butter in batches (make sure the butter is soft at room temperature, otherwise, melt it just a bit).

  • Step 3 Make a dough

    Mix using your hands to make a soft dough.

  • Step 4 Lay out cookies

    Grease a baking tray or line it with parchment paper. Now pinch out small portions from the dough and flatten them a bit with your palm to give them the shape of a cookie. Lay out all the cookies on the baking tray.

  • Step 5 Ready to be baked

    Slide the tray into a preheated oven. Bake them at 180 degrees celsius for 12-15 minutes.

  • Step 6 Ready to be served

    Once baked, take out the tray and let the cookies cool down. This will make the cookies crispier. Your Nutty Cookies are now ready to be served. Enjoy!
