Martha is grinding a spice paste. She adds 3 tablespoons of ginger, 1 teaspoon of cardamom, 1 teaspoon of mustard, 2 tablespoons of garlic, and four times as much chile powder as mustard. What percentage of the spice paste is ginger, rounded to the nearest integer? (Remember there are three teaspoons per tablespoon.) Let's think step by step and output the final answer after "####".

First convert the ginger to teaspoons: 3 tablespoons * 3 teaspoons/tablespoon = <<3*3=9>>9 teaspoons
Then convert the garlic to teaspoons: 2 tablespoons * 3 teaspoons/tablespoon = <<2*3=6>>6 teaspoons
Then find how much chile powder there is: 1 teaspoon * 4 = <<1*4=4>>4 teaspoons
Then add up the amount of each spice to find the total amount: 9 teaspoons + 6 teaspoons + 4 teaspoons + 1 teaspoons + 1 teaspoon = <<9+6+4+1+1=21>>21 teaspoons
Then divide the amount of ginger by the total amount of spice paste and multiply by 100% to find the percentage of the spice paste that's ginger: 9 teaspoons / 21 teaspoons * 100% = 42.857, which rounds down to 43%
