I think you all might have probably discovered that this blog’s recipes contain turmeric in most of the DIYs for skincare and health categories. So now, let’s learn how to make pure turmeric powder at home. These days it’s very necessary to boost our immune system and turmeric which has medicinal properties does this job easily. Many of us do not have patience in preparing homemade turmeric powder, so we buy it from our nearby stores. The turmeric which we buy from stores would be adulterated with some kind of flours and added colours. Consuming this adulterated product is really not a good idea and applying it over your skin as well. So let’s switch to natural turmeric powder which we can easily incorporate in our diet and as well as in our skincare DIYs. So let’s check the recipe and ways to use it.

HOMEMADE TURMERIC POWDER RECIPE-

Let me be very frank, realistic, simple and clear. Many of the social media videos and blogs do mention about various methods in preparing the turmeric powder, like air-drying, oven-drying and by using dehydrator etc. The best way to prepare homemade turmeric powder is by sun drying! Definitely not a quick process but it is all worth it!

Do bring the fresh turmeric root/sticks from your nearby provision store or you can even buy them online. Let me describe the preparation steps and they follow like this:

  1. You can buy how much ever quantity you want. Say you can buy some 250 to 500gms of fresh turmeric root depending upon your need and daily usage.
  2. Clean the sticks, peel using a peeler, slice and sundry them until there’s no moisture content in it. It should be crispy and hard.
  3. Wear gloves so that your hands won’t be stained.
  4. If you have stone mortor and pestle take small quantites of them, grind them into small pieces roughly. 
  5. Continue to do this in batches until you are done with all the turmeric sticks.
  6. Now take these small sticks into batches and grind them in the blender to powder (Do this 2 times – to make sure you get smooth powder).
  7. Now sieve the mixture to get fine powder.
  8. To make it even simpler (alternative to 4, 5, 6 and 7) go to your nearest flour mill and get this done. You will have to sieve it again to make sure to get fine powder.
  9. It’s done. You can choose either stone mortor-pestle method or flour mill method depending upon your time availability and quantity of turmeric root sticks.
  10. Preferably can go for flour mill method for more quantity.
  11. Store the sieved mixture into the air-tight container and this can be stored more than one year.
