My favorite dish that feels incomplete without garlic is daal tarka. The sizzling garlic in hot oil adds a strong aroma and rich taste that makes the whole dish more comforting and satisfying. Without it, the daal feels plain and less enjoyable. I mainly use garlic for its flavor because it makes food more delicious and fragrant. But at the same time, I appreciate its natural health benefits too, like helping with immunity and digestion so it’s both tasty and useful.
