Notes
1. Do not use any water in the process of blending.
2. To peel garlic easily, soak the pods in water for about 15 minutes. Make sure to dry out the cloves of garlic thoroughly after peeling.
3. Use 2 tbsp. of oil as it helps in preserving the paste from spoiling.
4. Only use a neutral tasting vegetable oil like sunflower, canola, corn etc. 5. Remember to adjust the salt in your recipe as the paste has some salt.
6. I prefer using 1:1 ratio of ginger and garlic for a balanced paste.
7. Sterilize the jar by boiling it in hot water for about 5 minutes.
8. Use your ginger garlic paste in your cooking. This will stay fresh for 2-4 weeks when stored in the refrigerator.
