I think most South Indian's make their own turmeric powder, my parents always make a huge batch of turmeric powder and gives me some too. Some store bought turmeric powders have colors added to it so my parents always make their own. Since they make a large batch, they grind the turmeric in the local mill. But sometimes I find that the guy at the mill grinds the turmeric after he grinds red chillies thereby making the turmeric little spicy. So I make a small batch of turmeric powder at home and use it to make turmeric milk for kids or some other drinks using turmeric for digestion.
Turmeric is a spice which gives yellow color to the food and is used widely in Indian cuisine. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and it's a strong anti-oxidant. No Indian dish is complete without the addition of this turmeric! Especially in South India, we use turmeric in almost everything we cook!
