Last night and today I cooked some stirfry with raw ginger. Then I heard somewhere large amounts of raw ginger root which is what I used can make you miscarry or have a stillbirth. I am 26 weeks today. Is this true? Did you ever eat ginger root while pregnant?

farah asked:


I’ve been trying to find an Asian grocery store that carries the fragrant ginger bud/torch ginger/”bunga kantan” to use in some Malaysian cooking. I looked at the Uwajimaya stores in Seattle and bellevue, but couldn’t find them. Are there any stores that carries these flowers? There really isn’t any good substitute for them.

kii asked:


I have read online that “taking” ginger during pregnancy could be harmful. I assume that they are talking about ginger supplements but I was wondering if there is any kind of caution advised about ginger powder like one would use in cooking. I like to make stirfry often and use quite a bit of ginger powder to season it. Is this safe or should I stop using it. If it is safe is there any amount that is recommended that one should not exceed during pregnancy?? I am about six weeks along if that matters. Thanks so much:)

Ajay Kumar asked:

Indian cooking is considered one of the most diverse cuisines in the world. With the traditional use of varied spices and ingredients, Indian food is not always instantly recognizable as Indian because of the number of influences that have made an impact on the way Indians cook.

India is a country that has several other races and cultures coursing through its veins. Because of this, their cuisine has been molded by immigrants from West and Central Asia, colonizers from European countries, as well as the spread of religions such as Hinduism, Islam and Buddhism. For more resources kindly login on to www.cajuns-recipes.com. The variations in India’s topography have also led to major differences in the cooking done at several of its regions.

One common factor in all kinds of Indian food is the use of pulses. Pulses are leguminous plants that bear one to twelve grains or seeds within a pod. Some common pulses used in Indian cuisine are major, china and mug. Another common part of Indian food is rice or whole wheat flour.

Curries are also a popular ingredient in Indian cooking. In India the word curry actually means gravy instead of spice. Frying spices and vegetables in vegetable oil often makes Curry. Groundnut oil is preferred in North and West India, while coconut oil and Gingerly Oil is often used in South India and Mustard Oil is the vegetable oil of choice for those living in East India.

There are many spices that are often utilized in Indian cooking regardless of what region the dish originates from. Some of these spices are chili pepper, black mustard seed, cumin or jeer, turmeric or halide, fenugreek or methyl, asafetida or hang, ginger or dark and garlic or lass an. Another popular component is spice mixes, gram macula in particular. Gram Macula is a powder that often combines spices such as cardamom, cinnamon and clove. Goad Macula is also a commonly used spice mix in Maharashtra. Indian food also utilizes leaves such as curry leaves, cassia leaves, coriander leaves, mint leaves and fenugreek leaves. Nutmeg, cardamom, saffron and rose petal essence are often used in the making of Indian desserts or sweets.

North Indian cuisine is distinctive by the high dairy content in its dishes. Their dishes often include milk, yoghurt, an unpaged acid-set farmer cheese called pander and a clarified butter called ghee. North Indian cooking also often centers on the use of a tawa or griddle for making flat breads as well as tan door, which is a large and cylindrical oven that uses coal. Some popular North Indian dishes are samaras, which is a triangular pastry filled with spices and vegetables. Another one is Pandora Chicken, which uses yoghurt and bandore macula.

The eastern region of India is known for sweets and desserts like chum, Rasa olla, china pod, and china gaga, ratable, sands and cheery. Poppy seeds are also a common ingredient in Eastern Indian food.

South India focuses on rice as the centerpiece of meals. Common ingredients are curry leaves, coconuts and coconut oil. They are also known for a pea and vegetable stew called samba and a soup made of tamarind or tomato called ream. You can also please login on to www.atkins-diets-recipes.com. The cooking is so varied in the Southern states that each area has its own version of cooking samba.

West India is known for dishes that use rice, coconut, as well as fish found in the sea. Areas that are located in the hilly locations often use groundnut, wheat, mower and Abjure for their food. Those villages near the coast often eat fish, coconuts and rice.
