Ingredients & Substitutions
Fresh turmeric and ginger are the stars here. If you can’t find fresh turmeric, you can use 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric instead, but fresh really packs a punch. The black pepper helps with the absorption of turmeric's active compound, curcumin, so don't skip it!

Recipe Variations
