Ginger garlic masala

Ginger-garlic paste is a flavorful blend created by crushing fresh ginger and garlic cloves together. This mixture is a staple in Indian, Thai, and some Italian cuisines. Sometimes, a pinch of salt is added during the crushing process to enhance the taste.

In Indian cuisine, ginger-garlic paste is especially popular, commonly used in curries and vegetable dishes to impart a burst of flavor and additional health benefits. Ginger, a key ingredient, is renowned for its digestive properties.

Traditionally, this paste is made fresh using a grindstone, but nowadays, many people prefer the convenience of a mixer-grinder. If you’re pressed for time, you can also find ready-made versions of ginger-garlic paste in most grocery stores.
