Ginger garlic puree is made by blending fresh ginger and garlic into a smooth mixture. Some recipes add a little water or oil to help it blend, while packaged versions may include other ingredients, so check the product’s ingredient list.
Peel fresh ginger and garlic, then blend them together until smooth. Add only a small splash of water if the blades need help moving. For easier use later, portion the puree before storing it in the refrigerator or freezer.
Ginger garlic puree is commonly stirred into hot oil at the start of Indian curries, lentil dishes, and marinades. Cook it briefly while stirring before adding wet ingredients, so its raw aroma mellows without letting the garlic burn.
Keep homemade ginger garlic puree in a clean, sealed container in the refrigerator and use it within 3–4 days. If it contains oil, do not leave it at room temperature; freeze portions promptly if you will not use them soon.
Yes, ginger garlic puree freezes well in small portions. Freeze it in an ice-cube tray or a sealed freezer container, then take out only what you need. Add a frozen portion directly to a hot dish or thaw it in the refrigerator.
For most cooked dishes, ginger garlic puree tastes better when briefly cooked in oil first. This softens its raw bite and releases its aroma. For cold sauces or marinades, you can use it without frying.
Yes, ginger garlic puree can replace fresh ginger and garlic in many recipes. Because it is already finely blended and distributes quickly, start with less than you think you need, then taste and add more if the dish needs it.
Ginger garlic puree can turn green when natural compounds in garlic react with enzymes or acidic ingredients. A green tint alone does not necessarily mean it has spoiled, but discard it if you also notice mold, an off smell, or an unusual texture.
Equal amounts of ginger and garlic make a balanced starting point for ginger garlic puree. Use more garlic for a sharper, savory flavor or more ginger for a brighter, warmer one; the right balance depends on the dish.
Use finely grated fresh ginger and minced garlic instead of ginger garlic puree, adding each separately to the recipe. If neither is available, ginger and garlic powders can add some flavor, but they will not give the dish the same fresh taste or texture.

Ginger garlic puree is a freshly ground blend of ginger and garlic, used as a cooking base or seasoning rather than usually eaten on its own. It brings the two ingredients’ punchy aromas together in a form that is easy to stir into a dish.
Across South Asian and other cuisines, cooks add it to curries, marinades, soups and stir-fries; it also works in everyday home cooking elsewhere when a recipe calls for both ingredients. The taste is sharp, warming and savoury, so a little can go a long way. It is low in fat and contributes some fibre, while adding plenty of flavour without needing much oil. Briefly fry it at the start of cooking to mellow the raw edge, and keep the heat moderate so it does not scorch.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
