Homemade Ginger garlic paste-Made easy

Ginger-250 Gms-Thoroughly washed-I prefer to keep the skin on as this is a good source of vitamins for the body
garlic-250 Gms-peeled
Cut the ginger and garlic and drop them into a blender with 100 ml water and make a fine paste.You can add more water if you face a problem making a fine paste.Now pour the paste into the ice tray and freeze it.After 5 hrs remove the cubes from the ice tray and transfer into ziploc bags.Store in the freezer and use when ever needed.This saves time and effort.
