I love the taste of ginger. The stronger the better. I have been adding it to my tea for a long time without knowing that it was medicine. Have you ever tried the ginger flavored Altoids?

Indira; thank you for the wonderful recipe! I will definitely be trying this the next time I’m ailing…

Indira replies:
Try it first with tea, Stephanie. It’s just like fresh ginger tea but without that fresh smell of ginger.

I knew it will a totally different post! Was waiting for it! Sweet!

Hope you dont mind, but an off topic:
Saw your comment on Sumitha’s Kitchen Wonders about cassava/kappa/tapioca.If you havent made this before,just wanted to tell you that you should peel two layers of skin for the fresh cassava, the brown one and the pink one inside,then boil the diced pieces and strain the water when it boils, add water again, when it boils strain it again. It is very important to strain it twice, when you cook cassava. Sometimes the cassava can cause mild irritant to your unaccustomed stomache if not strained. Have and enjoy this delicious dish from Kerala. It replaces rice and is a main dish, so you can have it instead of rice or chapathi with any gravy.

Indira replies:
I totally thought the date was July 4th. Problem with numbers.:)
Got it, LG. Thanks so much for sharing this information on kappa. I’ll certainly follow your suggestions and I want my first experience a pleasant one. Thanks again!

I hardly ever get sick, but was sick as a dog for a month this past wet winter in California. I drank cups and cups of hot ginger tea. I never thought of ginger coffee - that sounds great!

The dried whole ginger is available in Indian stores here in northern California. I just discovered it recently and have taken to grinding my own ginger as needed in small batches. It’s so much more fragrant than the pre-powered kind.

I love the fact that you branch out from recipes to this kind of thing - it’s knowledge I wouldn’t find anywhere else!

Indira replies:
I hope you are doing better now. Sometimes, body crashes without no reason, I know.
Ginger tea is great to clear the head. Ginger coffee is little bit acquired taste same with sonti also. Give it a try and see how you like it.
Food blogging is great, no editors to filter out the information saying ‘too ethnic, too folksy or not scientific’ etc.:)
Thanks Diane!
