How to make Tumeric paste with fresh Tumeric.

• Fresh turmeric is a root just like ginger but smaller in size.
• To prepare Turmeric paste, first wash it turmeric.
• Peel it just like ginger, this will take time a lot of time. (Also wear gloves as turmeric will stain the hand badly and stains won’t go up to two days. It will also stain your plastic utensils but stains fade away with time.)
• Just chop it finely or make a paste with as little water as required. Your turmeric paste is ready for use it any recipe.

Storage of turmeric paste

1. Freeze turmeric in ice cube trays and then remove from tray to zip lock bags. Also measure how many tablespoon goes in one cube so you know how many cube will be required in a recipe.
2. The paste last in the fridge too in an air tight container for 4-5 days.
