Garlic and ginger paste is a staple component in almost all Indian recipes. You can buy it but I like to make my own to avoid all the preservatives and overspending on something that is so simple to make.
If you cook Indian food regularly then it is really worth making this in bulk so that you always have a jar of it in the fridge for convenience. My mum often makes this in huge batches and freezes it in ice cube trays which is a really great way to preserve it in tablespoon-sized portions.
