Garlic Nimki is an interesting variation of nimkis and garlic being the base ingredient, it has a health value. From time immemorial garlic has been used as an effective antidote to a number of ailments including asthma, digestive disorder, diphtheria, whopping cough, high blood pressure, skin disorder and rheumatism. Naturally, inclusion of garlic in one's daily diet keeps one in good health.

In addition to being healthy, garlic nimki is also a very tasty affair. Preparing it in spadesful I think every time to have it last at least for few days, but it takes merely few minutes for my hubby to clean it all out.
