Add 1 tsp ground cumin and mix well. Add salt and mix(I forgot to put it first that's why there are walnuts in it:)) Crush the walnuts in your palms than add to the bowl. If crushing the walnuts in your palm sounds challenging to you can try simply cutting them into little pieces with a knife. Mix well then cover it with stretch film and wait a day for garlic to infuse to the paste.
