Dehradun, Nov. 28 -- What's so nice about this spice?
Turmeric happens to be one of my favourite herbal spices amongst others.
I simply love its warm, golden-orange colour and pungent taste of the thin, salt-coated slices I religiously eat before every meal to open up my taste buds and help digest my meals easily.
Eating turmeric as an appetiser is a ritual that was introduced to me by my grandmother - it's almost as if every bite into its raw, juicy and crunchy body sends out an invocation to the Sun God, who, I think, must have purposefully infused his life-giving qualities to Turmeric with just a golden hiss of his warm kiss.
It's no wonder why Turmeric is considered as the golden child of Ayurveda.
As a child, I would watch my moth...
