🥗 Serving Suggestions
- Sprinkle over salads, sprouts, and roasted makhana.
- Mix into curd or raita for a spicy, nutty flavour.

Storage tip: Since fresh garlic and spring onion contain moisture, this mixture is best prepared in small batches and used immediately or refrigerated in a clean, airtight container for up to 2–3 days. For longer storage, dry the garlic and spring onion thoroughly before grinding and storing.
