Ginger Garlic Paste

The mixture has some beneficial properties and also enhances the taste and flavor of the dish it is added to. Ideally, the paste or masala should be freshly prepared using a grindstone. However, due to scarcity of time and unavailability of a grindstone, people may use a mixer-grinder appliance to prepare the paste. These days, the paste is also available as a readymade preserve in many departmental stores or groceries.

It is often paired with onion, tomato, or green chilies in gravy preparations. It is often used in rice preparation like biryanis, pulao, and curries like chana masala, Matar paneer, etc.

Ginger Paste is a fast, easy, convenient way to add a punch of spicy, sweet, warming flavor to anything from curries to stir-fries to desserts. One of my favorite uses is to use ginger paste for tea. To do so, simply use 1 teaspoon paste for every 1 teaspoon of minced or grated ginger called for in the recipe.
