  • Turmeric powder

This can be stored in a cool place or in the fridge and stays fresh for atleast 6 months. It tastes best with rice + ghee + thotakoora pappu and oddly, with Chinese fried rice! Mix a little ginger pickle with a little curd to make a chutney that goes really well with idli and dosa.
