FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the secret to Albaik-style garlic sauce?
The key is using fresh garlic, a smooth cornflour slurry, and continuously whisking while cooking to achieve that creamy, velvety texture.
Can I use this sauce as a marinade?
Yes, it works wonderfully as a marinade for chicken or even as a dressing for salads, but it is traditionally served as a dip.
How long does this garlic sauce last in the fridge?
Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Give it a good stir before serving.
Can I make this sauce without cornflour?
Cornflour is essential for the texture. If you don't have it, you can try using potato starch or arrowroot powder as a substitute.
Is this garlic sauce vegan-friendly?
You can easily make it vegan by replacing the milk with unsweetened almond milk or oat milk. The taste will still be delicious.
Can I adjust the spice levels?
Yes, you can add a pinch of white pepper or a small green chili to the blender for an extra kick of heat.
What can I serve with this garlic sauce?
It pairs perfectly with grilled chicken, french fries, chicken nuggets, or even crispy vegetable sticks.
Why does my sauce turn lumpy?
Lumps usually form if the cornflour isn't mixed properly with cold water first, or if you stop stirring while cooking. Always whisk continuously.
Can I freeze this sauce?
Freezing is not recommended as the texture may break down upon thawing. It is best enjoyed fresh or stored in the fridge.
Can I use pre-minced garlic from a jar?
Fresh garlic gives the best flavor, but you can use jarred minced garlic if you're in a hurry. Use about 2 tablespoons of jarred paste.
