Ingredients List

To make this delicious turmeric and ginger recipe, you will need to gather a few simple items. Here is the exact list of everything required to get the best texture and potency possible.

One cup of fresh turmeric root washed and sliced
One cup of fresh ginger root washed and sliced
One cup of pure water plus extra if needed
Quarter cup of coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, or melted avocado oil
Half teaspoon of ground black pepper to activate the turmeric
Optional quarter teaspoon of ground cinnamon for extra flavor

How to Make Turmeric and Ginger Paste

Making this wonderful golden paste is very easy and fun. Just follow these simple steps to get the most smooth and potent result every single time.

Step 1: Prepare the Roots

Start by washing your fresh turmeric and ginger roots thoroughly under cold water to remove any lingering dirt. You can use the edge of a spoon to scrape away the thin outer skin easily. Slice both roots into small chunks so they blend smoothly without getting stuck in the blades.

Step 2: Blend into a Puree

Place your sliced turmeric, sliced ginger, and the quarter cup of water into a high speed blender or food processor. Process the roots on high speed until they break down into a fine, wet puree, stopping to scrape down the sides with a spatula as needed.

Step 3: Simmer in a Saucepan

Transfer your blended root puree into a small saucepan. Pour in the coconut oil or olive oil, along with your ground black pepper and ground cinnamon. Stir everything together thoroughly with a wooden spoon.

Step 4: Cook to a Thick Paste

Place the saucepan over medium low heat. Cook the mixture gently for about eight to ten minutes, stirring constantly so it does not burn on the bottom. The mixture will thicken into a rich, glossy golden paste as the excess water evaporates.

Step 5: Cool Completely

Remove your saucepan from the heat source and let the golden paste cool down entirely on your kitchen counter. As it cools, the healthy fats will firm up slightly, giving the paste a wonderful, spreadable consistency.

Step 6: Transfer to a Jar

Spoon your cooled turmeric and ginger paste into a clean glass jar with a tight fitting lid. Ensure the jar is completely dry before storing your homemade wellness blend.

Step 7: Store and Use

Seal your jar securely and store it in your refrigerator. Stir one teaspoon of this golden paste into your morning tea, warm milk, soups, or smoothies whenever you want a powerful health boost.

Chef Notes

Staining Warning: Fresh turmeric contains natural pigments that will stain skin, plastic containers, and countertops instantly, so wear kitchen gloves and use glass bowls if possible.
Storage Tips: Store your homemade paste in an airtight glass jar inside your refrigerator for up to three weeks, or freeze spoonfuls in an ice cube tray for longer storage.
Oil Choice: Coconut oil adds a lovely subtle sweetness and helps bind the paste nicely, while olive oil provides a neutral savory flavor profile.
Black Pepper Importance: Never skip the black pepper, because it contains piperine which multiplies your body ability to absorb the healing compounds in turmeric.
