Following on from the previous post in this thread about Indian recipes without onions or garlic ....

Lots of Indian onion and garlic free recipes will include #asafoetida (aka hing) as it adds onion-like complexity to dishes if used in moderation and correctly. Overused it will be bitter.

You probably won't find it in your supermarket, so check out your local Indian grocery.

It is not only used for onion/garlic free dishes but can also be used with garlic and onion to enhance their flavours.

Priya Krishna, author of Indianish, writes about how to use it, and its essential use in Indian cooking. NOTE HER POINT ABOUT ITS AROMA. I double-bag the container and keep it away from other food.

Can't or don't eat onions or garlic? Do you like Indian food?

No onion, no garlic recipes are well known in Indian food, eg Jains essentially do not use them, often foods associated with festivals and observances are onions and garlic free, ditto sattvic recipes (#ayurveda).

Searching on Jain recipes or sattvic recipes will show sites and video channels. But better still, just search on "Indian no garlic no onion recipes" and it will give you good results.

EDIT: OR, search for Hare Krsna or Hare Krishna or ISCON recipes - these are also onion and garlic free. There is a whole website of hundreds of dishes that are always good, and mostly easy dishes.
