About Golden Paste
Have you ever tried Golden Paste (Turmeric Paste, Golden Milk Paste)? I recently discovered this amazing Ayurvedic remedy. Combining turmeric, black pepper, and coconut oil creates a vibrant, vegan, and gluten-free mixture bursting with goodness!
I’ve been experimenting with it lately, and I have to say, the benefits are incredible. Not only does it help with joint pain, but it also seems to do wonders for digestion. Plus, it’s versatile—I’ve used it in everything from smoothies to curries.
I thought I’d share the recipe with you. My recipe makes about 1 cup of golden paste, which should last a while. Trust me, once you start incorporating this into your daily routine, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it!
Ingredients
This paste is prepared with just six ingredients – ground turmeric, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground black pepper, and coconut oil.
You can add maple syrup to the golden turmeric paste to make it sweet.
How To Make Turmeric Paste
Mix the following ingredients in a pan and make a smooth mixture.
- ½ cup ground turmeric
- 2 teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 and ½ cups of water
Cook for 5-6 minutes on medium heat, stirring frequently.
Switch off the heat.
Add ½ cup of cold-pressed coconut oil and mix well to combine.
Let the mixture cool down to room temperature. Transfer to a clean glass jar and refrigerate for up to 1 month. Use as required.
Frequently Asked Questions
If making it with fresh turmeric and ginger, wash and peel them. Make a fine paste of both ingredients, mix it with other ingredients, and cook it with a little water. Once done, mix it with coconut oil, and your turmeric paste is ready.
If prepared with fresh turmeric, the color of the paste will be slightly lighter than the paste prepared with turmeric powder.
Usage Suggestions
Mix a teaspoon of golden paste in hot milk to make Haldi Doodh.
You can add it to soups, stews, milk, yogurt, coffee, smoothies, rice, curries, hummus, pasta sauce, and salad dressings.
Add it to your mocktails and cocktails for a healthy turmeric twist.
