Powdered ginger and garlic
« on: December 07, 2006, 09:24 AM »
Has anyone tried using powdered ginger and garlic in the base, in place of the fresh stuff. This must be a common shortcut in the trade.

I used some powdered garlic to rescue a madras and it ended up tasting very pleasant.

Not in the base.  But yes in the recipes especially Madras & Vindaloo where they are essential BIR ingredients.  There are many comments/suggestions throughout the Forum about this.  I woul not suggest using them in the preparation of the base though for two good reasons:  Their flavours are too strong, and they stick very easily in a slow cook.

Hope this helps

Yeah after8 I agree with C.P. You cannot go past using fresh ginger & garlic, or for ease you can get jars of these. Paul
