Pure Mirch Masala's Ginger Garlic Paste is that job, already done: equal parts fresh adrak and lehsan, ground smooth and jarred at peak aroma. One spoon and your masala base is ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fresh-ground ginger garlic paste (adrak lehsan paste) made from just real ginger, real garlic and salt. It is a concentrated cooking base, not a bottled sauce — no vinegar, no water bulking, no emulsifiers. Roughly one heaped teaspoon (about 10g) replaces one inch of ginger plus two cloves of garlic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorking women and busy home cooks who want homestyle taste without the daily peeling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFamilies who read labels and want no preservatives in their everyday masala\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAnyone cooking daily salan, biryani or BBQ where adrak lehsan is the base of every dish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStudents and bachelors who want real flavour without a grinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm, aromatic and pungent — the clean bite of fresh adrak with the depth of raw lehsan. It carries no chilli heat at all, so it builds the base of a dish without deciding how spicy it is.

That is why they sit unrefrigerated for months and why they can taste sour rather than fresh. Ours is the opposite trade: nothing added, so it must live in your fridge and it tastes like the adrak lehsan you would have ground yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Pure Mirch Masala\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFresh-ground in small batches, not mass-bottled\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo preservatives, no vinegar, no artificial colour, no fillers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull ingredient transparency — ginger, garlic, salt.

No vinegar, no preservatives, no artificial colour and no fillers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it spicy?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It has the warmth and pungency of fresh adrak and lehsan but no chilli at all, so it will not make your food hot. It builds the base flavour and you control the heat separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much should I use instead of fresh ginger and garlic?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout one heaped teaspoon (roughly 10g) replaces one inch of ginger plus two cloves of garlic. Start with 1–2 teaspoons for a family-sized salan and adjust to taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it contain preservatives or vinegar?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeither. Most shelf-stable jarred pastes rely on preservatives and acidity regulators to survive outside the fridge. Ours does not, which is exactly why it needs refrigeration after opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I store it and how long does it last?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeep it refrigerated once opened and use a clean, dry spoon every time. It stays fresh for about 2–3 months that way. Any moisture introduced into the jar will shorten that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it halal?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, 100% halal. It contains only ginger, garlic and salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich size should I buy?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e250g to try it, 500g for regular everyday cooking, and 1kg for large families or heavy use. The 1kg gives the best value per gram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from your Red Chilli Garlic Paste?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis one is the aromatic base — ginger and garlic, no heat. The Red Chilli Garlic Paste is the fiery one. Most kitchens use both: this for the foundation, that for the kick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo you deliver across Pakistan with Cash on Delivery?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, we deliver to every city in Pakistan with Cash on Delivery, and delivery is free on orders over Rs. 2,000.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pure Mirch Masala","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":48240367599803,"sku":"GGP-250","price":599.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":48240367632571,"sku":"GGP-500","price":899.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":48240367665339,"sku":"GGP-1000","price":1199.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/4909\/6891\/files\/adrak-lehsan-paste.webp?v=1786740649","url":"https:\/\/puremirchmasala.com\/products\/ginger-garlic-paste","provider":"Pure Mirch Masala","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
