Garlic is just a magnificent ingredient with many benefits. As I learned from my mother, it is very beneficial in lowering the Cholesterol level. Using garlic in our food is the better way to avoid heart deceases. When I was with my parents, my mother used to cook a garlic curry at least once in a month because of the benefits of garlic.
