The Perfect Ginger-Garlic Paste Subru Uncle Has Taught Me!
"I'm about to leave for USA in 2 days from today. I have been a pampered chef all these past 2+ years. I have been so dependent for small jobs like chopping veggies, chopping corriander leaves, putting together all the basic ingredients I need for making my recipes and most of all, for making ginger-garlic paste which we use alot in our Indian cooking for stir-frying alongwith onions in several veg and non-veg recipes. Now that I am going on a holiday to the US, I will be cooking for my dad and bro and ofcourse, for myself too. I'm SO EXCITED and SO NERVOUS! Independently, this is going to be the FIRST time in my life, that I will be actually cooking solo so to speak! Right from washing veggies, to chopping/slicing, to mixing, to cooking till the dish is ready to serve and ofcourse, that perfect finish you call 'garnish' -I have to do it ALL completely ON MY OWN and it has to taste EXACTLY like Subru uncle's cooking! I'm REALLY THANKFUL to Subru uncle, the man who has been cooking in my house for the last 13 years! He is the one who I owe alot more to, than words can ever express. I will MISS him alot while I'm gone and the speed with which he cooks! He was really sweet today and when I requested him, he taught me how he makes the ginger-garlic paste that my family simply ADORES! This is the recipe that I will be using FOREVER! I can swear by this because it really is the perfect consistency and it's PERFECT! Whenever a recipe calls for ginger-garlic paste, please use this and look nowhere else - this is simply too good! Try it, please! Recipe can be easily doubled!"

Charishma, you have so many great recipes! I've been digging through your collection of Indian recipes, I think 90% of what I make over the next week will be one of your recipes :) -
Perfect amounts! Very good. Delicious in chicken and fish dishes. When you can't use salt this is an absolute joy. -
This recipe gives you just what it says it will, ginger-garlic paste! I reckon I'll be making this on a fairly regular basis from now on. Thanks Charishma. -
Very, very good! And so simple, too. Made this in just a couple minutes in my Magic Bullet for use in Tandoori Chicken for tonite. I think this will become a new staple in my fridge - it's that good!

<p>Hi Everybody! Thanks for stopping by in my little niche of the mighty Zaar world. <br />Here is a quick link to the beauty recipes I've posted (highest rated so far):http://www.recipezaar.com/r/chef=6357/253/451/18/ls=h <br /> <br />A few things I've done:- <br /> <br />1. Worked part time as a Telemarketer in Oman in the Crowne Plaza Hotel. <br /> <br />2. Worked as a Certified Professional Tarotist (Tarot Card Reader) and done accurate predicitions for many people from different parts of the world, most memorable of which is the reading I did for my college Law lecturer and it came true. <br /> <br />3. Written nearly 1000 poems several of which have been published in leading newspapers, ezines and magazines both in Oman and India. <br /> <br />4. Worked as a Moderator on www.allpoetry.com - my BEST and FAVOURITE site on the internet. <br /> <br />My other interests include: Numerology, Vaastu Shastra, Feng Shui, Face Reading, Reiki and Astrology! I am really very keen on getting well-versed with metaphysical sciences such as Astrology, I-Ching, Feng Shui, Runes, Enneagram, Kabbalah and many more. <br /> <br />I love researching on the mythology of ancient Goddesses and then condensing my research into poems. <br /> <br />In the mood to gift me something? Here's what I'd love - A Nissan 350Z {my dream car}</p>
