Topic: No G&G

[london]

I made a Dansak last night and left the G&G out and to my possibly uneducated palate there was no or very little difference. Has anyone else try making a curry without G&G? if so what are your thoughts. Does half a tsp of garlic and half a tsp of ginger make much of a difference as most if not all bases already have G&G in them.

In my recent experience, the g/g paste can be safely omitted from at least some dishes; whether it can be safely omitted from all is moot, and (IMHO) a little unlikely.
