What it is

777 was started by brothers R.S. Narayanasamy Iyer and R.S. Ganapathy Iyer, whose Hotel Sri Rama Bhavan opened in Madras in 1933. Ginger garlic paste is the base of almost every meat curry and biryani: fresh ginger and garlic ground together.

With this jar, a heaped teaspoon replaces the peeling and grinding. It is the step every Sunday curry starts with, and the one most people want to skip. Choosing between pastes? 777 ginger garlic for everyday curries; Shan Ginger Garlic Paste in the bigger 700 g jar for heavy use; Shan Garlic Paste when you want garlic only.

Tip: Fry it until the raw smell goes, about a minute, before the tomatoes go in. Otherwise the gravy tastes sharp.

Goes well with: 777 Chettinad Mutton Masala, 777 Country Chicken Masala, 777 Madras Chicken 65 Masala
