Turmeric paste

Haldi paste

5 g1 teaspoon

15 g1 tablespoon

Paste density about 1.0 g/ml; 4.93 ml ≈ 5.0 g.

Fresh turmeric paste has a brighter aroma; powder is close but not identical.

• 
  Turmeric powder

  Use 25–30% of the weight; mix with a little water to a paste. More concentrated and less fresh, so add early.

• 
  Ground turmeric

  Use 25–30% of the weight; same as powder. Stir into oil to avoid lumps.
