Rani Ginger Paste

I was worried about buying something in glass, as I've had trouble with things breaking in shipping (manufacturer/vendor's fault for not packing it well enough.) But fear not, as these are really well packaged direct from the manufacturer. The quality is pretty good, it's a pre-made paste so it will never be as good as fresh. In all, I am pleased with the outcome and would buy again. Now to go stir my tadka before it burns.

This is a bigger jar than I was expecting and the jar says it's best to use within 6 weeks. It's delicious, so I guess we'll just use a heaping spoonful in just about everything until we use it up. Great for curries.

We used this as a spread between two layers of puff pastry before baking. Served to guests as an app before dinner. EXCELLENT!!! It has a mild but very flavorful taste.

We use ginger garlic paste a LOT in our kitchen, this was a surprise we didn't know existed, and is well worth the price.

I've seen some bad reviews of Rani cooking pastes here on Amazon, but I have also noticed most of them are for the Ginger paste and a few for the Garlic paste. I bought the ginger garlic paste, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. I've used a few brands over the years and Rani's stacks up pretty identically to others. But I was able to get this big jar of Rani for just about 3 dollars more than a much smaller jar (of Rani or any other brand for that matter), and I do use it a lot making things like chicken tikka or various curries, so it was a good deal.Of course, you can make your own garlic ginger paste, using 3-4 cloves of garlic (depending on size) and about an inch of ginger, and it will be better than a jarred paste. And if you have the time and the patience, I highly recommend that. But restaurants are using a paste, and for garlic ginger, I do, too. I mentioned the bad reviews -- I do NOT use just ginger or just garlic paste. I do find that processed garlic and ginger by themselves taste odd. I can't even use the little jars of pre-minced garlic you find in any grocery store. They are packed in oil, and one sniff tells you they are different than fresh minced garlic. Ginger paste, too, is subject to being... well, just wrong. But put the two together, and I'm fine with the results in a finished dish. With hours chopping and sauteing onions and tomatoes and roasting and hand grinding my own spices, I do allow myself this one shortcut, and the Rani brand is as good as any other for a good price.Hope that helps.

Very good flavor. Worth the price for improving the dish.

I made Garlic/Ginger mayo to put on corn on the cob....so good.

I’m finding more recipes calling for this. Nice to have in stock now!

Quality product

I love cooking with ginger paste. I ordered this because it’s a nice big size. But it tastes “off” to the point that I checked the expiry date. The date was fine. You might want to try a different brand.

Very satisfied with the taste; used for both cooking and in smoothies.

Its authentic

Love this product. Arrived in perfect condition and tastes amazing.
