Turmeric powder is one of those common ingredients you easily come across in many kitchen counters. It is often used to prepare many recipes including tea. Turmeric powder is made from the fresh turmeric roots, it has a warm, bitter taste and is used mostly to flavor and to color food. However, turmeric is used as a single spice and also in many spice blends such as suya spice and curry powder, where it is the most important ingredient. 
If you have ever seen any spice blend with a bright orange color, it is most likely that they have added turmeric to it, hence the bright color. This bright golden powder has its many uses and health benefits that you can think of.

Turmeric root is almost similar to ginger and can be grated into a paste,  dried, and ground into a fine powder or minced into various dishes. However, you can use turmeric as a substitute for curry powder when making coconut fried rice., Nigerian fried rice, Apart from fried rice, turmeric can be added to different foods such as vegetable sauces, gravy sauces, tomato stews especially for its typical bright color and unique taste.

Here are the steps to make turmeric powder

1. Clean the turmeric root by washing under running water get rid of sand and debris.

2. Place washed roots in a medium pot and add water to slightly cover them, cook on medium heat for 30 minutes, or until soft.

3. When they are soft, strain out all the liquid and leave to cool down completely. Pat dry with a paper towel.

4. Use a sharp knife to cut the turmeric into tiny pieces so that they can dry faster.

5. Spread them out evenly on a drying rack lined with a parchment paper and set to dry. If you are using the oven to dry turmeric, it might take hours before they are finally dried and crisp. The dehydrator also helps to dry this faster and better, however, you can sun-dry it if you are leaving in a warm environment at least for 2 to 3 days.

6. Once this has dried, process it in a food processor or with a dry mill into a fine powder and there you have your turmeric powder.

7. Turmeric powder can stay up to one year if properly stored, but may start to lose its best flavor after that just like any other dried spice. Store turmeric powder in an airtight jar or plastic bag and use it when it is needed.
