Is this video better?

The top of the tub looked as near as dammit a perfect circle on the YouTube version (I didn't look at the embedded one), so I think you have cracked it.  But you do use a lot of oil, don't you ?!  I make mine in a goblet blender, and I use just enough oil to ensure that it settles back, then top up if necessary once it is in the jar.

It's the way i have been shown Phil, the oil settles on top, you pull the G&G up though it.

How long would you rely on the oil to preserve it? Or would you freeze it? I am currently freezing in 1TBS portions but if is would last  few months then maybe that is worth considering. If I am going to faff about I would rather do it in one go so I do tend to make a significant batch at a time. Smaller quantities I suppose I need not worry about preserving so much.

It just sits in the fridge with a lid on. I am happy using up to 5 weeks, it stays white.

Still also like the tuff I had to prepare for the Jaipuri. That had something special about it. More faff though.

As in the test thread thing. Panpots ashoka jaipuri set for me to do. 60 40 split garlic / ginger blended with some oil z( from memory ) but then fried off before using.

I only prepare as much G/G as I am going to use at the time,storing g/g puree doesn't seem a good idea if you read this section taken from a link posted by DalPuri.
Takeaways would get through a massive amount of g/g so storage probably wouldn't be an issue.
