Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Garlic
  • 1 cup Semolina (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Take a frying pan and heat it on a low flame on your gas stove. When it is hot enough, put 1 cup of garlic cloves in it. Make sure you slice them in thin pieces as shown to ensure better roasting.
  • Stir them continuously for about 2 minutes on a low flame until they turn slightly golden-brown in color.
  • Now add 1 cup of semolina to it. Stir them continuously.
    (Pro tip: Adding semolina is not essential. It will primarily prevent the garlic cloves from getting burnt and will also help in losing moisture quickly).
  • After 15 to 20 minutes of stirring, the garlic cloves should be nicely roasted, crispy, and slightly brown in color.
  • Check them. Take one piece and break it. They must be dry and break easily.
  • Now, take a strainer.
  • Transfer the roasted garlic cloves along with the semolina to the strainer.
  • Separate the semolina from the garlic cloves. Use your hands to rub and separate the semolina sticking to the garlic cloves. Ignore the few remaining in it.
  • Now, take a clean and dry grinder, grind the garlic cloves to a smooth powder, transfer it to a bowl, and your homemade garlic powder is ready to be used in a variety of dishes and curries.

Notes

  • I strongly recommend using fresh garlic to make garlic powder at home.
  • Slice the cloves evenly. This ensures uniform roasting.
  • Stir them continuously on a low flame so that you do not burn the garlic cloves. This will render a bitter taste.
  • Remove the ingredients when they turn golden brown.
  • Make sure it is free from moisture before grinding to ensure a smooth consistency.
