Description
Dehydrate the turmeric until the pieces are completely dry. When done drying they will easily crack and snap in half, rather than bending. Use a blender, food processor, or coffee grinder to churn the dried turmeric into powder. Pour the turmeric powder through a fine mesh strainer poised over a bowl and sift it.
Turmeric powder, also known as haldi, is a versatile spice used in many Indian and international dishes. Here’s a simple recipe to make homemade turmeric powder:
Ingredients:
- Fresh turmeric roots (you can use as much as you want; the more you use, the more powder you’ll get)
- A clean, dry bowl
- A clean, dry kitchen towel or paper towels
- A clean, dry, and airtight container for storing the powder
