Also used as an alternative to saffron for colouring.
Also known as "Haldi Powder".
Made from the root of the turmeric plant.
High-quality, organic produce.
Turmeric is a very popular ingredient in India. It is used to add a "bitter" note to curries, and it also gives curry a brighter, more yellow colour. Turmeric is also used to colour rice; it's a lot cheaper than saffron for this purpose!
Turmeric has a settling effect on the stomach, similar to that of ginger. The turmeric plant is actually part of the ginger family. Indeed, turmeric is often sold in supplement form, but this is much better and more cost-effective: turmeric can just be eaten in food!
Directions
In curries: Add one or two teaspoons of turmeric powder per person to an Indian curry.
To colour rice: Add around a tablespoonful of turmeric to the rice just before cooking. It will give the rice a bright yellow colour, just like with saffron.
