I think that it would great if you could buy frozen fresh garlic in a bag of small (say 5g) blocks. I don't mind chopping ginger so much as you don't have all those little cloved to deal with!

Hi BB

You can buy garlic (and ginger) peeled and frozen in little blocks. Have a look in the freezers in the your local Asian supermarket, they all have it round here so should be generally available.

Hope this helps

Asda used to do frozen garlic in a kind of disposable ice cube tray, very convenient but dont know if they still do it (haven't been for a few years as its 10 mile away & Morrisons is 1/2 mile away), so now I use the Scwartz frozen chopped garlic when its in stock.

I just keep my root ginger in the freezer and fine grate it as/when I need it...I do the same with garlic but it's never frozen...Can't stand bottled stuff - it tastes awful to me and nothing ever comes close to fresh even if it's supposed to be "fresh frozen" :-\

Morrisons sell frozen chopped garlic in a bag for about 85p, the bags are clear and not that big so you'll have to look closely amongst the frozen chips for it.

i've just made another batch of the ashoka - using 70:30 garlic:ginger. this is what i've used for quite a while now.

some recent posts suggested the proportion should be the other way round ie more ginger than garlic - has anyone tried this.

i am beginning to think it's worth a try. tgad2007 suggested 65:35 ginger:garlic.

it would certainly cut down on the effort.
