Ground turmeric
Haldi
3 g1 teaspoon
9 g1 tablespoon
0.2 g1 one pinch (~1/16 tsp)
USDA FoodData Central: 1 level tsp ground turmeric is 3.0 g | Pinch converted from 3.0 g per level teaspoon.
Instead of Ground turmeric
Nothing truly replaces turmeric's combination of brilliant yellow-orange colour and warm, musky, medicinal earthiness.
Ground gingerUse 50% of the weight. Mimics turmeric's warm, earthy, rhizome background, but provides none of the golden-yellow colour.
SaffronSteep a tiny pinch (0.1 g per 2 g turmeric) in 2 tbsp warm water; use to match the rich golden hue. Contributes an aristocratic, honeyed floral flavour rather than earthy bitterness.
