Few Turmeric Recipes
Turmeric is a mild spice with a pungent aroma. The aroma gets even stronger when it is added to curries and cooked. A small pinch of turmeric is enough to color and flavor any dish. So, it should be used sparingly. If turmeric is sprinkled over any fish, meat, and egg dishes, it instantly adds a splash of bright color to your dishes.
