Notes
How to make ginger-garlic paste?
Add equal amounts of ginger (peeled) and garlic to a small mixer. Grind it for 15 seconds or so; and then add a tbsp of water (or as required), continue to grind until you see a thick and smooth paste. Use and save the rest (in the refrigerator to be used another day).
