The refined ones call it curcumin and almost all of us call it haldi powder. Yet, the fact remains that haldi or turmeric powder is the indispensable element in every dish we savour. Moreover, they have a plethora of health benefits as per Ayurveda which makes its more than a spice powder which is sprinkled as a colour or taste enhancer.

Curcuma long plant is a spice which has earned reputation for its vibrant yellow color.

All you got to do is sprinkle some of the hald powder to you veggies and stew to enhance taste.
