Ginger and green chili paste can be prepared very easily. In Indian recipes you might have come across garlic paste, ginger garlic paste and ginger chilli paste. Since garlic, ginger and chilli form the basis for most Indian recipes, they are often grinded separately or together to a form a paste .Even though I use it on daily basis, I tend to stick to making a fresh batch weekly. It requires adding more salt and oil to preserve it for longer which is something I don’t prefer to do. The green chilli in the paste gives it a beautiful pastel green hue. And though equal amounts of chillies sounds like too much, it only adds enough concentration of heat in a teaspoon to tingle on the tongue. While using it, keep in mind it already has salt so balance out the salt in recipe accordingly.
