gingerandtabby Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I bet the above is available in markets, but don't know what it is called in Thai language. Please help the language disabled :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pdaz Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 It's known as ka-min ( ขมิ้น in Thai script ) Easy to find in all the local markets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerandtabby Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 Pdaz, you gave me what I needed. Thanks very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passingas Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Very easily confused with ginger, as it is in the same family. I use it (dried and ground in a powder) in a paste with (virgin) coconut oil and scramble eggs in it. I've read where it needs the heat to open it up.... Add to your hearts desire, other ingredients (onion, garlic, potatoes, etc...) A wonderful elixir in its' own right. One of those....magic foods/supplement/herbs, etc....may long you live! pg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttthailand Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Just be careful as it will give an orange stain to anything it touches. Nice to add a few thin slices to your tea for a little health boost. Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pond Life Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 If anyone is interested, my wife grows organic Turmeric. She sun dries it, powders it & sells it by the kg or in 1000mg capsules. Pm me if you want some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pond Life Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Nothing extra in ours, just Turmeric & the capsule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the addition of an activator such as ground black pepper curcumin absorbtion is severely compromised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebo Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Many different kinds of what Thais call Khamin. The one in the pic is Khamin Oi, mostly used in Curry (Kaeng). Very often you find also Khamin Chan and Khamin Khaw in the markets to name only some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumak Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 4 hours ago, hyku1147 said: Where can one buy this and black pepper? Thanks read what rebo and kaptain rob posted. rob gave me a recipe long ago : turmeric plus ginger plus lemon grass plus a cinnamin stick....and a little ground pepper. boil for about 15 minutes the cumin should be cumin cha ..... fairly small and can be bought at larger thai markets but have to go around looking for it. A few pieces can last a while as about a teaspoon (grated) is enough for one pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumak Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 also, they will try to sell you cumin that is already a powder ( in a bottle). Get the fresh stuff if you can. if you see some ginger ask them "mee cumin cha.... mai krap " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
