1/2cupgingerskin peeled & chopped
1/2tspoil
1/4tspsalt
Instructions
Scrap off the top part then peel the garlic skin, repeat to finish.The garlic pearls I used were quit big so chopped it further.just half or 3 slices per garlic that is enough.
Measure and set aside.Now take ginger peel the skin using a spoon that is very easy and makes sure that only the thin layer of the skin is peeled.
Chop it into smaller pieces.Measure and set aside.
The ratio I use is 1:2(ginger:garlic).Measure after chopping.Add both ginger and garlic to mixer jar, add salt to it.
Add oil to it.Grind it to a fine paste.Store it in a clean dry container.
Refrigerate and use it.Keeps well atleast for 2 months.
Notes
Do not use water while grinding.
Do not add more oil than mentioned, this is just enough.
As salt is less you need not be mindful while adding this paste in recipes.
You can use small garlic too in that case no need to chop.
Always measure after chopping(if you plan to chop).
I used normal mixie to make this paste, you can even use food processor.
