Homemade haldi powder is made from carefully selected, boiled, dried, and finely ground turmeric rhizomes. Known as the “golden spice”, haldi is a cornerstone of Indian cooking and Ayurveda. It adds a warm, earthy flavor and a rich yellow color to curries, dals, milk, teas, and wellness recipes. Turmeric is celebrated for its curcumin content, a natural compound with strong anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunity-boosting properties.
