Follow these steps to make the Ginger Garlic Paste

Add the following into a mixer grinder*100 gms Garlic (skinned and roughly chopped)*60 gms Ginger (thoroughly washed and roughly chopped. Some people like to remove the skin of the ginger. I don't. However, you can do it the way you are comfortable :)-Grind these two ingredients to a thick fine paste-Transfer this paste into an Air Tight container-As soon as the paste is ready, it will be hot, due to the pressure of the mixer rotation. Please wait until the paste has turned completely cool and only then cover it with a lid-Ginger Garlic paste should be stored in the refrigerator. It can be stored up to 15-20 days
