Ginger Garlic Paste
After finding tons of recipes calling for ginger garlic paste, but only finding ginger paste or garlic paste at local grocery stores, but not both, I decided to find a recipe for it myself. Basically, it is just equal amounts of ginger and garlic pulsed together. Store it in the refrigerator or freezer. You may use water instead of oil, but it will not keep as long.
