HOMEMADE GINGER GARLIC PASTE / INJI POONDU VIZHUDHU / GINGER GARLIC PASTE



Ginger Garlic paste is almost regular in Indian cooking, that to mostly in North Indian cooking.
I just love the flavour of this paste and it was in my long time wish to post homemade ginger garlic paste recipe.  I never buy stored one and mostly I make instant paste whenever I needed.  Last week I bought plenty fresh ginger from world food market and a bag of garlic.  Making fresh ginger garlic paste is very good and flavoured than the stored one isn't it!  I always prefer to make my own paste and keep refrigerated.  I learnt this paste one of my Gujarathi friend Hema and she was the one taught me homemade ghee too.  Thank you Hema :-)




INGREDIENTS:

Ginger                  - 1 cup
Garlic                   - 1 cup
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Oil                        - 1 tsp

HOW TO MAKE:

Peel the ginger skin and cut into pieces.  Peel the garlic skin and keep aside.  In a mixie / blender put ginger pieces and give two to three strokes.


Add oil, turmeric powder and garlic and grind it together and make a fine paste of it without adding water.  Use spatula to mix it and do not use hands.  


Store it in an airtight cleaned dried bottle and keep refrigerated.

Do not use  hands at any cost and it will result forming fungus in the bottle edges.
