- 450 gm ginger
- 300 gm garlic
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 2 tsp salt
- Oil as required I use olive oil
Instructions
- Soak the ginger and garlic for an hour.
- Peel to remove all the skin. Wash under cold running water and pat dry.
- Chop them up into fair pieces and put into your grinder along with turmeric powder, salt and a couple of tablespoons of oil.
- Grind in little intervals till the mixture is smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender using a DRY spoon and mix to ensure even grinding. If it gets too difficult, add little oil again.

Notes
This quantity makes approximately 500 gm of ginger garlic paste.
The paste keeps good in the fridge for a month.
Always use a dry glass bottle to keep the paste, preferably a sterilised one.
Ensure to scoop our with a clean spoon - a drop of water can cause the whole paste to get spoiled or get fungi attacks.
