Ginger is a very popular and widely used ingredient in most cuisines especially India and China. It was one of the earliest spices known in Western Europe and was used since ninth century. It is often used fresh, minced, crushed or sliced or can be stored for few days in the refrigerator. Fresh ginger is essential to Asian and oriental cookery. It is used in pickles, chutneys and curry pastes and the ground dried root is a constituent of many curry powders. Tender young ginger can be sliced and eaten as a salad. In west countries, dried ginger is mainly used in cakes and biscuits especially ginger snaps and gingerbread. Ginger is also used in puddings, jams, preserves and in some drinks like ginger beer, ginger wine and tea.

Ginger is most commonly known for its effectiveness as digestive aid. So it helps relieve indigestion, gas pains, diarrhoea and stomach cramping. Ginger’s therapeutic properties also effectively stimulate circulation of the blood, removing toxins from the body, cleansing the bowels and kidneys, and nourishing the skin. Green chilies are another exceptional ingredient that is widely used to spice various dishes in different cuisines.

There are a variety of chillies that is mild hot to very spicy. Apart from providing spiciness to the dishes it also has amazing health benefits. It is a rich source of vitamin C, vitamin B6, iron, copper, potassium with small amounts of proteins and carbohydrates. Some of my very popular and mouth watering recipes made with cashew nuts are Cashew nut curry, Kaju Karle – (Karela Bittermelon with Cashew nuts), Chicken with cashew nuts, Chicken Korma, Spicy Fried Cashew Nuts, Masala Cashews.

Cashew nut is a very versatile nut and is also used in making various sweet delicacies. These tasty nuts are extensively grown in South India (state of Kerala).
