Hare Lahsun ki Sabzi is a delicious and simple recipe prepared using green garlic.
Green garlic is an immature garlic plant, which is harvested before it grows into the well-known mature bulb. Green garlic is milder than garlic cloves and adds an intriguing spike of flavour without being over-powering. Green garlic can be quite sharp when eaten raw but mellows tremendously when cooked. It has a nutty-oniony flavour, without the typical spiciness of mature garlic.
Green Garlic plant has a leafy stalk and flowers, which signify that it is ready to be picked, despite the bulb not fully formed. Since this vegetable is only available for a few weeks each year, it is important to harvest and enjoy eating it whenever you can! Hence, I find any opportunity to prepare recipes using green garlic.
Apart from being delicious, green garlic has many medicinal values too. Green Garlic or Hara Lahsun works as a powerful antioxidant to boost your immune system and prevent against common infections like cough and cold as well as chronic diseases like cancer.
This dish can be enjoyed with Indian Breads like Sindhi Doda Roti, Gujarati Biscuit Bhakri, Chawal ka Tikda, Methi Thepla, Dal Poori and Palak Poori.
