How to use
- Homemade ginger paste can be used fresh or straight from the freezer.

- Add to Indian inspired dishes such as this easy lentil dahl recipe or this quick curry recipe with cauliflower and chick peas.
- Use to season soups such as this sweet potato and ginger soup or this spicy carrot soup recipe.
