Be nice if I had a yard or something, though. Sadly, the balcony isn't as sunny as I'd like, and it's not that big, either. Be nice if I had a yard or something, though.

They were going for about 22 euros, but really gorgeous, so you could see why. I looked for the name: cucurma! Yup, turmeric in a pot. 22 bucks seemed like a lot to spend on something whose root you were after, but I did consider for a moment that it might throw out shoots if put into a much larger pot. Apparently these are quite common houseplants/balcony plants down here, since once I'd seen my first one, I saw them all over the place.

I sometimes add a small drizzle of syrup to ginger (jaggery syrup, ginger syrup, maple syrup, or honey) just to caramelize them a bit ... great on raw soft tofu. Can absolutely do it with ginger.

Can definitely substitute any kind of neutral-ish oil, I think........... Ed, It's true that walnut oil is best uncooked, but a gentle fry over low heat doesn't seem to bother it.
