to its medicinal value and flavor also .
Question asked by many persons how
much turmeric one should use?
If you do not want to use much ,try
taking a little bit less, it would still be better than not taking at all.
If you do not have haldi stick you
can use good brand haldi powder, as you know something is better than nothing.
