I am from India. We use ‘Turmeric’ a nutritional supplement and spice almost on regular basis in our cooking.
This is a rhizome that is grown in India, which is used in raw form in the states like Kerala and Bengal.
While in other states the rhizome is dried and then made into powder to use it in cooking.
Turmeric believed to have many health benefits. It is an anti-oxidant, anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory
It helps in improving memory; it helps in reducing risk of heart diseases and also has benefits against depression!
Did you know about these facts about the wonderful Indian Spice ‘Turmeric’? Do you use Turmeric in your cooking? Thanks!

We use turmeric or yellow ginger to add color to our fried rice, curry which we use regularly contains turmeric. I also drink turmeric tea that is moringga fortified on almost a daily basis, usually at breakfast mixed with native lemon and honey.

I do use it some, when I make bread and butter sweet pickles I do, but other than that I have not. If I knew how to cook with it more I would. One day I will learn more recipes.

In India we use lot of spices and turmeric goes well with these spices in curries , fries and other Indian dishes! A pinch of tamarind can be added to the egg while beating it for making an omelette ! Well you can get information on the net about how this spice can be used in regular cooking! Thanks @andriaperry! Have a great time!
When I was a child, turmeric, ginger, etc cultivated in our home. Now those lands are occupied with rubber trees.

I've never tried to use turmeric when I am cooking but it gives me an idea to use it soon. Maybe i will try to cook beef curry and use it for my tea.

This goes very well with non vegetarian dishes! You can try this by starting to add few pinches to adjust later on as per your taste! Thanks @Bhebelen14!
