Can I use sonth powder in place of fresh ginger?

Yes, in most gravies and chai. Dry ginger is more concentrated, so start with a small pinch instead of the amount of fresh ginger a recipe asks for.

What size does Vasant Dry Ginger Powder come in?

It is available in a 100g pack.

How do I store dry ginger powder?

Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and moisture so it stays loose and aromatic.

About Vasant Natural Dry Ginger Powder (Sonth Powder)

Vasant Natural Dry Ginger Powder, known in most Indian homes as sonth or soonth powder, is made by drying ginger root and grinding it fine. The result is an off-white to light brown powder with a strong, pungent smell and a sharp warmth that is quite different from fresh ginger.

Because the water is gone, dry ginger has a more concentrated, slightly earthy bite. A small pinch is enough to be noticed. It is called shunthi in Marathi, sukku podi or chukku podi in the south, and many people simply ask for adrak powder when fresh ginger is not at hand. The powder mixes easily into liquids and dry blends, which makes it more convenient than grating fresh ginger when you are making a large pot of chai for guests, a batch of spice mix, or a marinade that needs an even coating.

In Indian cooking sonth powder goes into masalas for gravies, curries and tandoori marinades, and it is a common addition to ginger tea and masala chai. It is also used in baking for gingerbread, cookies and candies, in sonth ki chutney served with chaat, and in winter laddoos and panjiri. Keep it handy for days when fresh ginger has run out.
