These ingredients are used in almost every dish. These spices lend a unique flavour to dishes such dal (lentils), curries chutneys pickles rice, bread and sweets.

How To

How to Make A Garlic Press

A garlic press can be one of the most important tools in a home cook's toolbox. You can quickly mince garlic or make a paste. It is also useful for crushing whole cloves of garlic into buttery spreads and garlic salt.

But if you don't own a garlic press yet, you might wonder where to start with one. Luckily, we've got some tips to help you get started.

First things first: you'll need a large bowl. Place the bowl beneath the press, and then pour the crushed garlic in it. Now adjust the pressure regulator to the maximum.

Next, turn the handle clockwise until you hear a click. The top of the press should lift up and expose a flat surface. This will allow you slide the blade back-and-forth over the bowl. Continue to turn the handle counterclockwise, until the blades are closed.

Finally, take out the pressed ginger and enjoy!

Here are some ways to make this versatile tool even more useful:

• Use minced garlic in soups, sauces and salads as a seasoning or even as a garnish.
• The press can be used to crush whole garlic cloves and make buttery spread.
• Make pizza dough by crushing whole cloves.
• Make roasted garlic mashed potatoes, or creamy polenta.
• Make pesto with garlic mashed in the press
• Blend the garlic into a smooth vinegar dressing
