Finally, found some time and a good idea for the excess ginger and garlic in my kitchen. I made this for the first time today, love the end product! I am hoping it will stay fresh for at least a 2-3 months. Ingredients: Ginger - 1/2 lb, peeled and cubed Garlic - 30 pods (approx.) peeled Turmeric - 1/2 tsp Oil - 1/3 cup (and a little more) I made sure the garlic cubes were dry, so I patted them dry with a kitchen cloth. Grind the ginger first with some turmeric. Take it out and then grind the garlic pods. I did not grind them to a complete paste, I wanted it to look "grated". Add the ground garlic to the ginger, add oil and fold it in. Now, transfer the mix into a DRY, air tight jar and refrigerate. (I thought it could use some more oil so I poured about 2 tbsp of oil on top and roughly mixed it before refrigerating.) Ginger and Garlic 16oz. jar

So, before there is nothing left to cook for her, she plans to get her act together and start cooking. --- Nitika Niti (being Niti!) is trying her best to get me to do a Julie Powell act. Well, I really wish I had the talent and dedication to take up a project like that.
