Turmeric is a deep, bitter spice designed to add flavour to curries and rice. It is a staple part of most curry powders and mixes.
Directions
Add turmeric powder to curries, together with chilli powder, cumin and coriander, for that authentic taste. Also add to rice for that familiar yellow colour.
Many people also use turmeric for its health benefits. It can be added to many foods, and even drinks. Try a teaspoonful or two in curries, casseroles, in rice and vegetable dishes.
