HOMEMADE GINGER-GARLIC PASTE (SHELFLIFE =1 MONTH)

Homemade Ginger Garlic paste/Allam velluli paste

Ginger garlic paste is a 'must have' in every Indian house, as it is  one of the main ingredient in all our recipies.Here am going to show you, the traditional way to prepare the paste in few easy steps,which I learnt from my mother.

Now-a-days,  we live in a society where everything is polluted. If you had tasted the store bought ginger-garlic paste, you might have noticed that.Few days back I have read an article related to adulterated ginger garlic paste racket. They mix some kind of acids, rocksalt and other unwanted materials,which are hazardous to health,to  prepare the paste.So, inorder to be safe and protect ourselves from such things, we need to afford sometime to prepare some home food.

Ginger-Garlic Paste

To make ginger garlic paste,is not a big deal. It  hardly takes 2 hours.First you need to get them from market, clean, peel the skin, grind and store.Thats all, and your paste is ready to add a great flavour and aroma to all your recipies.
 But the key lies in its storage.That's very simple than you think. We are not going to use any artificial preservatives here,instead with all natural ingredients we are going to give it a shelf life of one month. 
 
These two flavorful treasures are superstar therapeutic foods to have on hand in your kitchen.
Garlic has been used for thousands of years as a remedy for many different ailments, including intestinal disorders, flatulence, worms, respiratory infections, skin diseases, wounds, and symptoms of aging. Modern research indicates that garlic may help improve heart health in a number of different ways. It is a blood thinner that helps to lower both high blood pressure and blood triglycerides. Garlic also has anti-inflammatory properties-one particular study identified four different sulfur compounds in garlic that help reduce inflammation.
Several population studies also show an association between an increased intake of garlic and a reduced risk of certain cancers, including colon, stomach, esophagus, pancreas, and breast cancer. Additionally, garlic is a triple threat against infections, offering antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. Garlic has even been found to be effective at killing antibiotic-resistant bacteria, including MRSA.

Ginger root has a long history of being used as medicine in Asian, Indian, and Arabic herbal traditions. In China, for example, ginger has been used to aid digestion and treat stomach upset, diarrhea, and nausea for more than 2,000 years. Ginger also has been used to help treat arthritis, colic, flatulence, motion sickness, morning sickness, painful menstrual periods, and the common cold. Ginger is an effective anti-nausea agent, likely because of its carminative effect, which helps break up and expel intestinal gas.

Ginger contains potent anti-inflammatory compounds called gingerols and helps treat some inflammatory conditions. Daily ginger use has been found effective for relieving muscle pain following strenuous exercise, and also has provided relief from pain and swelling in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, or general muscular discomfort. In addition, a study in Cancer Prevention Research found that regular supplementation with ginger led to reductions in inflammation markers in the colon within just a month, suggesting that ginger may have potential as a colon cancer prevention agent.
In ayurvedic tradition, ginger is thought to warm the body and help break down accumulation of toxins in the organs, particularly in the lungs and sinuses. It can help promote healthy sweating, which can assist detoxification during colds and flus. Plus, research has found fresh ginger is effective against the human respiratory syncytial virus.
During winter, when you have sore throat ,hot ginger tea  will help you heal soon. Now coming to the recipe..

INGREDIENTS:

1. Ginger 200grms
2. Garlic 250grms
3. half lemon
4. salt 1tsp
5. oil 3 tbsp 

STEP 1:Clean the ginger.

As ginger is a root, it is obviously covered with mud. So to clean it, first soak the ginger in water for atleast 15min.Then feel off the skin, using a spoon.Clean it again, cut into small pieces and air dry them for half and hour, so that the extra moisture will be faded.

 

STEP 2: Clean garlic

 Separate the cloves and peel off the skin and be patient. 

STEP 3: Grind them into fine paste(NOTE:  DO NOT ADD WATER )

STEP 4:  Now add salt,oil and lemon juice. Mix well.Transfer the mixture  to an air tight container or a glass jar. You can refrigerate(or place in room temperature) and use the mixture upto one month. The mixture may have slight colour variation over time,but it tastes the same.

TIPS:

1. Do not use moist spoon while using the paste.
2. Be sure that the container is dry before you transfer the paste.
3. As it is homemade, it has more spicy flavour.So use the paste as required.
4. Peeled ginger skin can be used (instead of ginger), to prepare ginger tea.
