Homemade Ginger garlic paste

Ginger garlic is the most common basic ingredient in any local kitchen. In Asian dishes, Italian and now its fusion. Nothing beats the freshness of homemade ginger garlic paste then the store bought ones. I once bought the store made ginger garlic it looked pale, smelled weird and taste was also not good. I always prefer to make my own GG paste and store in fridge for over a month.

I m sharing my version of GG paste which can be stored for weeks in fridge without changing its color.

Ingredients:

250 gms of peeled Garlic cloves

100gms of Ginger

5-6 tblspn Olive oil

Method:

  1.   Peel the garlic and chop them if they are big in size.

  2.   Wash and dry the ginger. Chop it into small chunks.

  3.   Grind Ginger and garlic to a smooth fine paste. Add olive oil to it and grind one more time.

  4.   Store the paste in a dry jar and refrigerate for further use.

NOTE:

• Do not use water while grinding the ginger garlic, as it will reduce the shelf life of the paste.
• Use plastic spoon dedicated for the ginger garlic jar.
• Always use dry spoon.
• Keep the GG paste in the fridge always.
• Since ginger has its own strong taste n smell 1:2 ratio is best for the paste. Where 1 is ginger and 2 is garlic.
• Always chop the garlic and ginger to reduce the load on mixie.
