Why are there no onion and garlic in the recipes?

Onion and garlic are extremely strong and pungent in nature and fall in the Tamasik category and promotes disease, pain & distress. Why do you think that a plate of onion is the first thing placed on the table when you go to out to a Dhaba? Because onion increases desire. When you desire more food, the Dhaba earns more money. Not only do onion and garlic increase our desire, but they also prevent us from experiencing mental clarity, focus and higher states of consciousness.This is why in yoga and meditation students are also advised to stay away from onion and garlic before their practise. It increases desire and reduces self-control.
