Whip up a large batch of homemade ginger garlic paste in minutes! Store it in the fridge or freezer to shorten future meal prep, it is ideal for quickly preparing Indian dishes on busy days.
Add chopped ginger, garlic, oil, and salt to a blender. Grind to a fine paste. Make it in batches, if needed. Note - If you are having trouble blending it, feel free to add a few teaspoons of oil to help the process.
Storage Instructions
Store in the refrigerator in an air-tight glass container for about 7-10 days.
To preserve for up to 6 months, transfer the ginger garlic paste to an ice-cube tray. Don't fill it to the brim - make sure to leave about 1/4th inch of space for expansion.
Once frozen, pop the cubes out and transfer it to a Ziploc or a silicone bag and store it in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Notes
Note: There's an alternate way to make ginger and garlic paste. Just grind and store them separately. That way, if a recipe calls for only garlic paste, such as garlic bread, then you have it handy.
