Roasted Garlic Clove with Dal
One garlic clove roasted in a little ghee until soft is eaten with dal. It is not raw garlic, and it is not something to chew on an empty stomach.
One roasted garlic clove with dal
A single garlic clove dropped into the tadka softens in ghee and loses the sharp bite of raw garlic. Eaten with a serving of dal, it is ordinary food. Kitchens sometimes keep this habit in the season, but one clove does not promise fewer infections.
Raw garlic on an empty stomach is a different and harsher thing. Skip that. If garlic repeats, burns, or you are due for surgery or on blood-thinning medicine, ask a doctor before making it a daily clove.
Ingredients
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- A few drops of ghee for the tadka
- A serving of cooked dal to eat it with
How to prepare
- Warm a few drops of ghee in a small tadka pan.
- Roast one garlic clove until it is soft and lightly golden, then eat it with dal.
How to use
- Eat the one roasted clove with a meal, not by itself.
- Do not chew raw garlic on an empty stomach instead.
- One clove is the amount. Do not line up several cloves.
Helpful habits
- Soft and pale gold is enough. A black burnt clove tastes bitter.
- A little dal on the same spoon makes the clove easier to eat.
Precautions
- Do not eat this raw, and do not take it on an empty stomach.
- Stop if garlic causes burning, bloating, or a strong repeat taste.
- Ask a doctor first if you take blood-thinning medicine or have a procedure coming up.

How many garlic cloves are in this habit?
