In this Food Medicine and Lies episode, Dr. Priti Nanda Sibal demonstrates how to make a cashew nut dip. She starts by grinding grated cashews and nine cloves of garlic in a chisel mortar, explaining that using a mortar preserves the unique energy and taste that ancestors valued, unlike a mixer. She highlights that crushing garlic releases allicin, a compound with health benefits such as cholesterol reduction, and notes that chewing garlic is more effective than swallowing it. After the cashew‑garlic paste is ready, she adds spices—senna pepper, black pepper, and salt—to taste, and then incorporates a splash of extra‑virgin olive oil to achieve a smooth dip consistency. The dip is served with cucumber or carrot sticks, or any vegetable of choice. Throughout, she maintains an enthusiastic, instructional tone, emphasizing traditional preparation methods and the health advantages of the ingredients.

Welcome to our channel Food Medicine and Lies, and today we are going to make cashew dip. We're going to add our garlic to it, so I have grated some cashews. We'll use these. I have taken 9 pods of garlic. I am going to use this chisel mortar to crush these. I don't want to use mixie because as you know, when we use mixie, the energy is different. And when we do these spices in chisel and mortar, the energy is different, the taste is different, and there was a reason why our ancestors used to do it in this. Perfect. So now what I'm going to do is I'm going to add this in this container. So ground cashew, garlic, it's completely crushed. You also know that the allicin in garlic, which has multiple benefits for our health, gets released only when we crush the garlic. And that's the reason when we eat garlic in the morning for cholesterol and all, everybody tells us that we should chew it and not just swallow it. Anybody who is taking garlic in the morning and swallowing it knows what to change now. And now I have some spices, some Sene pepper, some salt, black pepper as per my taste, and I'm going to add to this Dip, dip. And now to this, you can add a little extra virgin olive oil to give this a consistency of a dip, and then you can eat it with cucumber sticks, with your carrot sticks, or with any other vegetable. And enjoy it. See, this is looking so lovely. And the moment you put oil, you know, it binds together and it actually gets the consistency of a dip.
