I am starting to venture into Indian cooking (as I'm originally from Mexico) and wanted some guidance. Unfortunately most of my friends from India don't cook...but their lunches, made by their mothers, make the whole lunchroom smell so heavenly! Searching for such guidance I found you. Thank you! Regarding the disrespectful stealing of your content by third parties (I followed the link given my Megan) I know that, since they belong to Google/Blogger, their account can be taken away. I just wanted to say thank you, not only for teaching me about Indian cooking, but for teaching me a little more about the culture as well. Indira, I love your recipes and detailed way of explaining!

Even here, sometimes I make my own dry ginger and add it to Tea. And Ofcourse every single day we make tea with fresh ginger.

They look and taste like talcum powder. Hence I stick to fresh ginger. Kashayam with sonti is one of the best medicines I have come across. I get only powdered sonti here.
