  2. I’m just mad of your recipes…!! I search whatever I want in your site, and it comes out well…5 stars

  3. Hello Ms. Dassana,
    This is the best source for Indian recipes.

    I would like to point out just one thing and that is please follow English capitalization rules. Recipes are awesme but everything in lowercase makes is look little less pleasant.5 stars

  4. Dassana you are just amazing! You explain everything so meticulously. I know that i can try any recipe on your blog and it will turn out great! This speaks volumes of the care and effort you take to try out each and every recipe you put up on the blog. Vegrecipesofindia is without a doubt the best blog on Indian cooking on the internet. Thank you for this wonderful encyclopedia on Indian cooking.5 stars

    1. fathima i use organic assam tea. i have used phalada brand, 24 letter mantra and oothu organic fair trade black tea. all are good. 24 letter mantra brand gives a strong tea, so you just need to simmer for 1 to 2 minutes and not more or else the tea gets bitter tones. oothu black tea is more on the lighter side. you can buy these from amazon.in

  5. I like your way of explaining the recipes. I follow a lot of ur recipes in my kitchen.. Thanks a lot for that. This time I stumbled upon ur page bcoz I was looking for the correct way of making ginger tea. I do make it at home sometimes, but I do not get the exact flavor that some other ladies make it. Just wanted to know if the ginger has to be freshly grated or if we can use the grated but stored ginger also. I usually grate the ginger in mixy and store in fridge, so that I can use it during cooking, just to save time.5 stars

    1. thanks shravani. i use fresh ginger always. some flavor is lost when anything fresh is stored. i would suggest to use fresh ginger while making tea. what i do is i peel the ginger and then just crush it in a mortar-pestle with cardamom or sometimes with other spices. then add this crushed ginger to water and then boil the water. it does not take time.

  6. hi, nice blog. thanks for sharing your recipe.
    I suffer from bad migranes, please can you share the recipe that you learnt at the spice farm in goa.

    1. thanks gunjan. they didn’t share any recipe as such. they just told us that lemon grass-cardamom-ginger tea is good for migraine. don’t add any tea leaves in this tea. just simmer water with these three spices till there and then strain and have the tea. use crushed or grated ginger and also crushed or powdered cardamom. if you want then you can try with tea leaves also. ginger tea is very good for headache and migraine. i hope it helps.

  7. I was just recently introduced to Indian Tea and I found your blog while googling more about it. This is a great recipe that you’ve shared, with a lot of useful information in the post. Thank you! I’m glad I stumbled upon…. xoxo
