A member of the ginger family, turmeric is easily identified by its bright orange-yellow hue which it lends to dishes. Turmeric has a warm and bitter flavor. Add turmeric to meat or vegetable curries, mix with cauliflower before roasting, season caramelized onions, or flavor chicken soup. Combine with limoo omani for stews, add to mustard, make curry chicken salad, or color rice. Turmeric blends well with cardamom, cinnamon, clove, chiles, ginger, and lemongrass. Try a turmeric tea by combining with citrus and cayenne or Golden Milk, a combination of turmeric and other spices like cinnamon and ginger.
