Name: Ginger Garlic Paste
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 10 min
Ingredients: 4 ounces garlic, chopped; 4 ounces fresh ginger root, chopped; 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

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

Ginger Garlic Paste

garlic, chopped

ginger root, chopped

olive oil,

In a food processor, combine the garlic and ginger. Pulse to blend, adding small amounts of olive oil to facilitate the blending, until it makes a smooth paste. Refrigerate or freeze.


Thanks! But I would also suggest to use half the amount of ginger.For eg.garlic-4oz ginger-2oz..so that the paste is better and more tastier!Thanks for posting anyway!

Five stars (with reservations!) - This was excellent for use in Indian butter chicken recipe.  But as a general health warning -- garlic infused in oil should NEVER be kept at room temperature or stored in the refrigerator for long periods of time -- it can lead to botulism poisoning. Use this ginger-garlic paste immediately or store in the freezer for future use. The jarred varieties you find in the store all have preservatives in them for just this reason.

FYI you can get Ggarlic ginger paste at any Indian foods market The brand I use is Vimal.
Just call your local Indian restaurant and ask them where the nearest market is.  They will be glad to help.

This was a bit time consuming to make but the paste is such a handy thing to have around! I made three parts garlic to four parts ginger so the ginger isn't too overwhelming.

Thank you for creating this recipe. I went to several markets to find this paste and thought the same thing: I could make it myself. Well it turned out very good!

EASY EASY EASY!!! What a money saver! I can't understand someone having a hard time making this. I used a veggie peeler on refrigerated ginger root (took maximum of 2 mins!!!) and pre minced garlic with extra LIGHT olive oil as not to interfere with the flavors. Took me about 5 mins total if that! Wish everything could be homemade this easily! Thanks!

Used for Butter Chicken and used jarred ginger and garlic. I'm sure fresh would have been better but this def served it's purpose!

I needed garlic paste and ginger paste to make Grilled 'Fusion' Pork Chops so I whipped up this paste and it was perfect! Thanks!

Nice try, proportions are good, but olive oil is not an authentic flavor for this, use sunflower, avocado or other flavorless seed oil. Also, turmeric, powdered or fresh adds the dimension found in the real thing, in this recipe, a level tsp dry, 2 tsps peeled, grated fresh turmeric. Use keywords like 'Indian' to find more authentic recipes, they are out there.
