How to Make Turmeric Powder

• Pounding turmeric requires a bit of a lengthy procedure, but those who want the authentic don't mind it.
• Buy thick firm, healthy ones.
• Wash in plenty of water
• Drain water in a large colander
• Then, dry in strong sun.
• See that they are absolutely dry and brittle, before you pound.
• If grinding in a machine, then pound to a semi-crushed state by hand, to avoid the blades of the dry grinder from causing injury.
