Everything You Need to Know About Cooking with Fresh Garlic

What is the best way to use fresh garlic?

Fresh garlic is incredibly versatile. Its flavor changes depending on how you prepare it:

• Whole Cloves: Adds a gentle, mellow, and sweet roasted flavor to slow-cooked dishes, roasts, or when infused in oil.
• Sliced: Provides a strong, but not overwhelming, garlic flavor in stir-fries and sautéed dishes.
• Minced/Chopped: Releases more of its pungent oils, offering a strong, sharp garlic kick. This is the most common preparation for curries and sauce bases.
• Crushed/Paste: Creates the most intense and pungent flavor, perfect for powerful marinades, chutneys, and the classic ginger-garlic paste (adrak-lehsan paste).

Why is garlic so important in Indian & Pakistani cooking?
In Indian and Pakistani cuisine, garlic is a cornerstone of the flavor base for most savory dishes. It is a key component of “tadka” (tempering) and the foundational “masala” (spice base) for curries, dals, and sabzis. It provides a deep, savory, umami-rich character that balances other spices and adds a complexity that is impossible to replicate. From a robust Karahi Gosht to a comforting Dal Tadka, the journey of flavor almost always begins with garlic.

How to Store Fresh Garlic for Maximum Shelf Life

To keep your garlic fresh and potent for as long as possible:

1. Store in a Cool, Dark, Dry Place: A pantry, a cupboard, or a basket on your countertop away from sunlight is ideal.
2. Ensure Good Air Circulation: Store garlic in a mesh bag, a wire basket, or a special garlic keeper with ventilation holes. Do not store it in plastic bags or sealed containers, as this traps moisture and can cause it to sprout or mold.
3. Do Not Refrigerate Whole Bulbs: Refrigerating whole, unpeeled garlic bulbs can encourage them to sprout. However, once you have peeled individual cloves, they should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and used within a few days.
