Turmeric

In Thai cooking, fresh roots are usually used.   Southern Thai cuisine rely heavily on the turmeric.  I love to add ground or crushed turmeric to my grilled chicken marinade or my fish marinade.

You can frequently find it in an Indian grocery.  Turmeric can be kept in a refrigerator for a few weeks.
