Burnt Garlic or Fried Garlic is new to me..I came across a recipe for noodles which uses this as the main ingredient. I loved it so much, that i want to try it asap. And i finally made it too..As a first step for that noodles recipe, i made this amazing fried garlic. It is so simple to make frankly, it needs only garlic and oil.
When you make this fried garlic, as a bonus you get a rich garlic infused oil too..I stored that oil in a air tight container and put it in fridge. Whenever i run out of garlic or too lazy to peel and chop a garlic, i use this oil for cooking. It has a intense garlicky aroma to it. So make this in bulk and keep it handy. It may make your simple meal a perfect one..

Take a clean sauce pan and heat oil in it..Once the oil in warm, add the chopped garlic in it and keep cooking in a very low flame.
It will take around 8 to 10 mins for the garlic to turn into golden. Dont over fry the garlic, because the garlic keep on frying in hot oil as it cools.
Turn of the stove when the garlic turns a couple shades darker.
Let it cool completely. Now the garlic must be golden and crispier.
Drain the oil using a sieve. Place the drained fried garlic in a paper towel and remove the excess oil.
