    Frequently Asked Questions

    How to make it using fresh Turmeric and Ginger?

    If making it with fresh Turmeric and Ginger, wash and peel both of them. Now make a fine paste of both the ingredients and mix with other ingredients and cook it with a little water. Once done, mix it with coconut oil, and your Golden Paste is ready.

    If prepared with fresh turmeric, the color of the paste will be slightly lighter as compared to the paste prepared with turmeric powder.

      I have made this several times and enjoy it very much. I used a ginger paste,and …since I didn’t have grou d cloves, I used a “pie spice” which has cloves,nutmeg,and cinnamon in it. I still added additional cinnamon.I used the maple syrup and the coconut oil. It is easy to make,and I appreciate that you shared this recipe. Thank you!,( for readers of this post:Give it a try! )
