Fresh turmeric root, haldi, is a knobbly rhizome with thin tan skin and bright orange flesh inside. It tastes earthy and peppery with a fresh, slightly bitter edge that dried powder loses. Gujarati and Rajasthani cooks make a quick pickle with it, and it is grated into curries, dal, rice and egg dishes, or blended into a paste for Sri Lankan and South Indian curries.
How to use it
Scrape off the skin with a teaspoon and grate or slice the flesh. Turmeric stains hands, boards and cloth, so use gloves and a plastic board. For a quick haldi achaar, cut the root into thin matchsticks, mix with salt and lemon juice and keep in a jar in the fridge. A small knob grated into a curry does the work of about a teaspoon of ground turmeric.
