Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Fresh ginger root
- 200 grams Fresh garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Wash the ginger root thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Use a spoon to peel the skin off the ginger. Chop it into small pieces for easy blending.
Peel the garlic cloves, removing all the outer skin. If using pre-peeled garlic, ensure it is fresh and not dried out.
In a blender or food processor, add the chopped ginger, garlic cloves, vegetable oil, salt, and water.
Blend the mixture on a high setting, scraping down the sides as needed, until you achieve a smooth, uniform paste. This may take about 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the ginger garlic paste to an airtight glass jar or container, and smooth the surface with a spoon. Add a thin layer of vegetable oil on top to preserve freshness.
Store the paste in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks, or freeze in small portions for up to 3 months.
Use 1 tablespoon of this paste in your favorite curries, gravies, marinades, or stir-fries for an instant burst of flavor!
