When tumeric is about to die off, a nice white flower shoot out, and we use it as ulam... try before?
Never, but I'll try when I see one next time. Thanks for the adding of ulam in my lists.:)
I also use turmeric, mainly for making pickles, to get a nice golden colour, but I have never seen the plant growing before. I didn't even wonder how the yellow powder was made. So it is the root parts that it is made from. Lovely to learn something new. Thanks.
Yes the root part. Now that something new to know that you used turmeric to colour your pickles, can I have some? ;)
