{"product_id":"fresh-turmeric","title":"Fresh Turmeric Root","description":"\u003cp\u003eFresh 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eScrape 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso called haldi or manjal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStains strongly; wear gloves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreeze peeled root and grate from frozen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold loose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chandra Stores","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55628478677331,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1101\/7433\/9411\/files\/fresh-turmeric-front.png?v=1793096338","url":"https:\/\/chandrastores.co.uk\/products\/fresh-turmeric","provider":"Chandra Stores","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
