2. Garlic – For the perfect outcomes, we would like the garlic in a paste type so it absolutely infuses the oil with flavour. For those who don’t have a garlic crusher, finely mince the garlic utilizing your knife then smear it right into a paste utilizing the facet of the knife.
Please don’t use retailer purchased garlic paste – it’s bitter from preservatives.
