This is the classic two-in-one aromatic base of South Asian cooking, fresh garlic and ginger blended into a smooth, spoonable paste, made by Ahmed. Packed as 6 tubs of 1kg, it is sized for restaurants, takeaways and caterers who go through plenty of it, while still keeping well once opened.
Fry a spoonful in hot oil at the start of a dish to build the base for curries, rice and lentils, or stir into marinades for meat, fish and vegetables.
Keep refrigerated once opened and use within the period stated on the pack, always using a clean, dry spoon.
How much equals a clove of garlic?
Roughly a teaspoon of paste stands in for a clove or a similar knob of ginger, adjusted to taste.
Does it need refrigerating?
Store it in a cool place unopened, then keep it in the fridge once the seal is broken.
Can I use it in any cuisine?
Yes, it suits South Asian dishes as well as wider marinades, soups and sauces.
