Back to the memories – during my childhood, grandma use to prepare this turmeric root curry. Those days all the vegetables were grown in the backyard that was sufficient to the family for cooking. Lots and lots of fresh vegetables and leafy vegetables were grown. I still remember grandma would water them by pulling water from the well. There were days she use to water the plants in fading twilight. 

Most of the time we don’t get the fresh turmeric roots in the markets. I had prepared this recipe when I had visited mom’s place. She has many turmeric plants in the backyard. Here is a recipe of Turmeric root curry I have learnt from my mom. I just loved this curry, it can be eaten everyday moderately or prepare this curry at least three four times. You will stay away from common sickness during winter and also has long term health benefits. 

Moreover, turmeric leaves are also used for preparing kadubu or patoli.
