I always wanted to share my basic paste preparation on this blog for so long. When I was in India, I used to prepare my basic paste including ginger paste, chilli garlic paste and tomato paste etc for a week only. India is a warmer country so even if we prepare such basic recipes in a bulk and store them in deep-freezer, There is always a slight difference in colour and the texture. At least, This is my observation and experience.

As I am in Canada now, I can do prep work for a whole month without worrying about the colour of the dish and taste.

Ingredients for this chilli garlic paste,

Just 3 ingredients required. green chillies, garlic cloves and salt. Salt is a great preservation agent. You can use your choice of green chillies. It totally depends on your taste.

Storage

As I said, Storage is really a tricky part. If you are preparing this paste in bulk then you must store this chilli garlic paste properly so it can stay fresh for months.

I store this paste in a deep-freezer and use it as required. I divide this paste into small batches so that I don’t have to defrost a large amount of paste every time. Frequent defrosts are not recommended at all. You can use small air-tight containers but I use Ziplock bags as It helps to manage some space in my deep freezer.

  1. I have this aunt who makes ginger garlic and chili paste. After seeing her make a batch, I too started following the practice of having a batch ready in my fridge. It comes in so handy.
