Ginger Garlic Paste is a staple in Indian cooking and easy to make at home. The homemade version is so much better than store bought. It can be made in bulk and frozen for months to be used in recipes!

Instructions
Wash and peel the ginger. Pat dry it and then cut it into slices. Peel all the garlic. The total weight for ginger and garlic was 250 grams each, after removing the skins.
Transfer the prepared ginger and garlic to a high speed blender along with the oil and blend for 1 to 2 minutes until you have a smooth paste.
Transfer the paste into a clean glass container and refrigerate. It will be good for up to 4 weeks. You can also freeze the last to make it last longer (refer to the post for instructions on how to freeze the paste). Use in Indian dishes as needed.
Notes
The nutritional value is an estimate for 1 cup of ginger garlic paste.
Use a clean dry spoon while taking out this homemade ginger garlic paste from the refrigerator. Using a wet spoon will spoil it.
