Ginger plays a very significant role in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. It is an ingredient in traditional Indian drinks, both cold and hot, including the popular spiced Masala chai. Fresh ginger is one of the key spices used for preparing pulse and lentil curries and other vegetable recipes. Fresh ginger together with peeled garlic cloves is comressed or ground to form ginger garlic masala. Fresh besides dried, ginger is used as a spice for tea and coffee, especially in winter. Ginger powder is used in cooking food intended primarily for pregnant women or with long medical history, the most popular one being katlu, which is a blend of gum resin, ghee, nuts, and sugar. Ginger is also consumed in sweetened and pickled form.
