Does anyone know how to cook with fresh turmeric? I've looked in "The Guide to Edible Landscaping", which only says that the rhizome is used. It doesn't say when to harvest it, or how to process it. Are the leaves used in cooking? If so, are they used when they are green or after they dry? My "Guide to Indian Cookery" was also no help in this matter. Please reply directly to me or to net.cooks. Thanks, Steve Kelem kelem@aerospace ARPA ...!trwrb!aero!kelem UUCP

A cookbook I have says to use completely different quantities when using fresh herbs instead of desicated ones. It says to use THREE times the quantity of herb when it is fresh, and to make sure that the leaves (or stems) are crushed or broken open. Also, I think in your case the leaves ARE used, but that they should eventually be removed before eating.
