    Ok when everyone is talking about the actual turmeric I'm gonna tell you that even the leaves are a delicacy in the southern part of India.
    Recipe : simply soak some rice overnight and grind with with very little water and a pinch of salt. The mixture should be looser than dough but thicker than pancake batter. It should spread easily on turmeric leaf but should not flow outside the leaf.
    Filling : Some freshly grated coconut, jaggery or coconut sugar and a pinch of cardamom powder. Melt the jaggery on stove top and add the grated coconut and cardamom. It should form a sticky mixture.
    Spread the rice paste on the upper side of the leaf and on top spread the coconut jaggery filling. Fold the leaf in half and steam it. Steam it for about 15-20 min. The Aroma of the kitchen will be unbelievable. The turmeric leaf imparts it's beautiful aroma to the dish inside. Nicole I wish you carried some of those leaves back home because you will know what i mean when you eat this dish !!
    Ohhh discard the leaf after steaming. And enjoy the rice and jaggery filling inside. Mouthwatering !!

    Well Nicole, (Indonesia’s here)finally the turmeric episode is come out!!! First of all I’m happy that you can experience the turmeric farming and get to smell them freshly pulled from the ground. I asked you on Instagram (@storyof.whisperingplant) whether you get to see the ginger as well and I’m glad you did. Even the leaves smell so good. I don’t have any cooking recipe since I’m not cooking my self but I have a very simple detox tea* from turmeric and his siblings.
    Ingredients for two cups of tea :
    1 thumb size of Curcuma domestica(turmeric) rhizome
    1 thumb size of Curcuma xanthorriza rhizome**
    1 thumb size of Zingiber officinale rhizome(ginger)
    Method:
    -Wash the rhizome(no peeling needed unless you want to) and slice them thinly
    -Pour 2cups of water in a pan and put in the sliced turmeric
    -Bring to boil, turn down the heat and simmer for about 5mins
    -Strained them and drink the tea(ideally before bed or after dinner with no sugar)
    *this tea is good to detox your digestion system i.e. when you feel your tummy isn’t well, bloating, you ate too much chilli 😂 or when you lose your appetite
    **I don’t know what you call this in English, the rhizome look like turmeric with lighter colour, bigger plants, the leaves have purple line in the middle and they produce inflorescence when mature in gradation from green from the bottom to pinkish purple at the tips
    Or you can just google “Curcuma xanthorriza”

    '(Pe-)Sakit' means diseases
    While 'Kuning' means yellow.
    Hepatitis is when there is inflammation in the liver, and the person's sclera (white part of our eyes) and skin looked yellow because the body can't break down bilirubin.

    In Kerala (India), we grind fresh turmeric into paste and cook it in low flame for about an hour... It will bitter... But we use palm sugar or jaggery to sweet it and make it eatable for kids as well. We usually eat this in late July or early August. It cleans our body from inside. And the important thing is that we should drink water for three hours, when we eat is medical mix. We usually eat once in an year..
    Feel proud since you made aware everyone about our humble rhizome. Thank you Nicole. . .

    A very simple recipe for cooking.
    Get one young turmeric leaf
    Chop it nicely
    Beat some egg
    Add the leaf to the beaten egg plus a pinch of salt
    Fry in some oil
    Eat it with rice while it is steaming hot

    1. You missed an important part of the turmeric value chain where the rhizome is aged in a pit for upto a year before processing into powder.
    2. If you can access some fresh turmeric leaves, got a simple recipe for you.
    Filets of fish, tied up in a fresh turmeric leaf, with reasonable seasoning of salt and spices, steamed till the leaf turns black. It is awesome.
    3. Mentioned it earlier and now repeating myself. Turmeric powder fixes leaking radiators. Yes, a dollop of turmeric fixes your car too...

    Hey nicole I'm from Sri Lanka... So I would like to share a recipe with you...
    We call them pancake, well not your fluffy ones,...this is our version of pancakes. So here's the recipe. I'll give approximate quantities since we don't measure the ingrediants usually when cooking.
    For batter.
    200g of wheat flour
    100ml of coconut milk.
    1 egg
    1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder
    A pinch of salt
    Coconut oil or any fat to fry the batter
    For the filling.
    100g of shredded coconut
    Coconut treacle (to soak coconut)
    A pinch of salt
    A pinch of cardamom powder
    A pinch of black pepper(if you like )
    Method
    First make a batter with the ingredients..it must flow as a thread.
    Not too thick, not too watery.
    I'll recommend adding the egg first and then adding coconut milk little by little until the consistancy is correct.
    Then keep it aside.
    Now make your filling.
    Keep a thick saucepan on the stove and add coconut treacle.Keep the flame medium high. When treacle starts to boil add the shredded coconut, a pinch of salt and cardamom ,a pinch of black pepper if you like(I usually skip it)
    Then stir it on medium low until it starts to come together.
    Now lets move back to our batter.
    Keep a frying pan on the stove and set the flame low. Then brush it with oil and check the heat by adding a little batter.. It the batter changes colour to a darker hue add a spoonful of batter and spread it evenly. 1 minute for one side is enough. When the batter is cooked remove it from the pan and add a little bit of filling and roll the sheet of batter as same as a spring roll.
    TA DAA..
    Enjoy with a cup of ceylon tea..
    Let's cook together 👍🌹🌹🌹
    By the way, i'm 20 years old and English isn't my mother tongue... I apologize you for my grammar and spelling mistakes... Feel free to ask any question you have about this recipe. 😊

  • @louieadam251
    @louieadam251 Před 3 lety

    I bought a kilo of yellow turmeric in the market here in the Philippines and explored how it taste when you use as a juice. I boiled the fresh six pcs of turmeric with 4 cups water for 10 minutes and afterwards let it cools down then put that in the pitcher add brown sugar to taste and and squeeze five pcs of local lime/lemon called Calamansi. This will serve as hot or cold juice when you added ice on it. it is refreshing and healthy. The rest of the turmeric I planted on my garden and after three or four months it sprouted and I have turmeric plants. To be honest I learned this turmeric when I was living in the US so ignorant that i thought ginger and turmeric are the same and became more aware that turmeric has a lot of healthy benefits.
