Hi aarthi,
How cum u don't peel d garlic. Wen ground does its skin also get ground? it cums in ur mouth while u eat rite?
@Anonymousyes the skin will be ground too.
Hi Aarthi
Is there any reason for not peeling the garlic skin?
@Anonymousjust lazyness, you can peel them if you want to
Once made and frozen, for how many days will this paste stay good?
Should it be kept in the refrigerator always?
@Zebathey will stay good for 3 months
@Aarthi
Garlic skin is very healthy and can be used with skin in almost any recipe that calls for garlic. i have rarely peeled garlic and use it whole in all my recipes.. rasam is tastier with skin on!
Quick way to peel a garlic is to microwave it for about 10 s or fry it a bit on a pan.
Any reason for leaving d chili stem on before grinding
no reason. i always use like that
