Staples

Onions and garlic, in Indian cooking, are the very heartbeat of flavor—a sacred marriage of earthiness and aromatic warmth that weaves through the fabric of every dish. They are the silent architects of a billion daily meals, the unsung heroes that transform a simple recipe into something rich, complex, and unforgettable, making them a staple of cuisine. In every bite of an Indian dish — whether it's a humble dal, a rich curry, or a fragrant biryani — onions and garlic are omnipresent, quietly but powerfully ensuring that every ingredient sings its song in perfect harmony. They are not just ingredients; they are the essence of Indian cooking, the guardians of tradition, whispering the secrets of generations with each savory note. It is no exaggeration to say that they are central pillars on which society stands.
