Fuck that. Never takes me more than 20 minutes, if that.

WouldBe said:I had a look at the Rogan Josh recipie and it says to simmer for 1 hour if using lamb or 2 hours if using beef.
Oh, right. I never make meat curries. A hangover from my veggie days.

Don't do it! It's completely different - I wouldn't use ground ginger in place of fresh.
WouldBe said:I've not got a pestle and mortar or a 'coffee grinder' as suggested in the cook book. I'll need a whole new set of kitchen gadgets.
How much ground ginger is the equivalent to fresh ginger?
But spices in shatterproof bowl or wrap in cloth, hit with end of rolling pin. Job done.
Pestles and Mortars can be piss cheap as well - get ye to your local TX Maxx or bargain emporium and you can probably pick up one for a fiver or less.

It keep for aeons in the fridge.WouldBe said:How long does fresh ginger keep?
I don't fancy grating it I'll lose the ends of my fingers.
Can I just crush it?
I've never tried crushing it - not sure that that would work to be honest - it's pretty sturdy. It's not hard to grate and it makes your fingers smell lovely I totally *heart* the smell of fresh ginger.

Eh? You can slice it quite easily, but it's a fairly good shape for grating. I generally use one of theose microplane graters, which works beautifully.
Keeps for a fair old while too - upto a few weeks depending on freshness - in the fridge

Failing that, crushed ginger freezes well, either spread on a sheet and broken into pieces before bagging it or in shallow ice cube trays. For the cheats' version you can by crushed ginger already frozen in cubes from most shops which specialise in Indian spices (same with green chili and garlic).
