Galangal is known as Thai Ginger or Siamese Ginger. In Hindi, it's known as Kulanjan/Bara Kulanjan. It is most commonly used in Thai, Malaysian and Indonesian cooking. It's known as Ginger because it resembles fresh Ginger so much. It has many potential benefits. It reduces inflammations, improves fertility and helps in maintaining Brain health.

This Tea or hot concoction is made by me with fresh Galangal and Tulsi Leaves. This Tea is such a wonderful option for any day. It uplifts your mood. Helps you feel good and is absolutely beneficial. It refreshes our mind. Tulsi also known as Holy Basil has great traditional medicinal properties just like Galangal. When both are combined to make a concoction, undoubtedly it's the best. Tulsi Leaves are good for sudden climate changes and are a perfect choice for immunity booster. It helps keep Common cold, Flu, Coughs, Bacteria and infections at bay. Honey or any sweetner can be used in moderation to enjoy it. It's a must have one in Winters.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
