Dried ginger is nothing but fresh ginger which has undergone a drying process. The fresh rhizomes are soaked in water overnight after which the outer peel is carefully removed using a knife or a peeler. They are washed again and then sun-dried on mats or barbecues for around a week. During this period they are turned periodically. The end result is a pale white dried ginger. When this dried ginger is powdered in a mixer we get “Dried Ginger Powder”. It is a fine off-whitish powder which has a strong aroma and slightly pungent flavour.
Dried ginger powder is a key ingredient in spices and masalas used in gravies, curries, marinades, and stews, enhancing their flavor profile.
Combined with cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper and cloves, it creates tea masala, adding a strong flavor when brewed with tea.
It can be used in hot beverages, offering a perfect drink for cold winter mornings or as a refreshing option in summers.
