FAQs

How is Lakadong different from regular turmeric?

It is a specific variety grown in the Lakadong area of Meghalaya, with a higher curcumin content (7-9% here) and a stronger colour and aroma than commodity turmeric.

How much should I use in cooking?

Start with about half of what you would normally use. It is more intense in both colour and flavour.

Is anything mixed in?

No. The pack contains ground Lakadong turmeric and nothing else.

Can I use it for haldi doodh?

Yes. A quarter teaspoon in a cup of warm milk is a common measure; a pinch of black pepper is traditional alongside it.
