Nora: actually Mock onion exists - stir fry cabbage and a pinch of

Hing(asafoetida) and it tastes like onion (source - Cooking with

Kurma - an ISKCON cookbook; despite ISKCON's not using garlic and

onion, they have the best food that I have tasted anywhere).

 

 

On garlic and onion being tamasic : I observed (long before I even

knew that it was supposed to be tamasic) that I could did not like

Garlic and onion and it did indeed make me dull; before we categorize

anything as tamasic, we also have to look at the dosha of the person.

For the kapha type person, it is a rasayana but for a pitta person it

is poison; and it does look like most guidelines for sadhaks are

tilted towards pitta type people, so that might be the source of

confusion.

In Ayurveda garlic and amalaki are two of the only natural rasayanas known to

us. Each has five of the six tastes. A good cook knows this and uses garlic to

enhance just about every savory flavor because it supports just about them all.

Of course there's rules. Paul Prudhomme doesn't cook any milk product with

garlic.

This is the other reason why many orthodox people do not eat garlic,

since it fell out of the mouth of Garuda ; I find it a very silly

reason not to eat garlic for this, after all Garuda is a celestial

and it came from Amrita.
