This 4-ingredient Indian spice paste is an easy-to-make all-purpose flavor booster. Use it in stews or gravies, or as a marinate for fish or chicken.
Ingredients
11 cloves garlic
1/3 cup Kashmiri chili powder
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons ground cumin
Instructions
Smash 11 garlic cloves and place in a blender or food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Add 1/3 cup Kashmiri chili powder, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and 2 teaspoons ground cumin. Blend for 1 minute. The result should be a powdery mix.
Scrape down the sides of the blender. Repeat blending and scraping 8 more times. The mixture will eventually become less powdery, and the goal is a grainy paste (resist the urge to add more vinegar).
