To prepare the chitt, first, peel and chop the ginger. Wash it nicely. Next, remove the skin of the garlic cloves. Roughly chop the green chilli.

Make a smooth paste of ginger, garlic, and green chilli in the blender. If required, use 2 to 4 tablespoons of water to make the paste. Transfer it to a bowl and set it aside.

Heat ghee in a heavy bottom kadhai. Add ginger-garlic paste. Reduce the heat to low and sauté the paste till ghee starts oozing from the sides of the paste. This takes 4 - 5 minutes. Keep stirring the paste while sautéing, so it does not stick to the bottom of the pan.

You will notice after 5 - 6 minutes, the ginger-garlic paste comes together and is no more sticking to the pan.
