About Ginger-garlic paste

Ginger-garlic paste is a blended mixture of ginger and garlic, used as an aromatic cooking ingredient, especially in South Asian cuisines. It is usually made by crushing or grinding the peeled ingredients, sometimes with a little water or oil, into a coarse or smooth paste.

The paste is pale beige to yellowish and has a pungent, warm, savoury aroma and flavour. It may be freshly prepared or sold in jars or other packaged forms; packaged versions can differ in proportions and may contain salt, oil, or preservatives.
