I don’t know about the health benefit of Turmeric very well, but it is fun to cook striking yellow rice using Turmeric. I sometimes cook rice with Saffron when I serve the rice with curry as Saffron makes rice yellow, but it is quite expensive. Turmeric Rice is just good enough. I recommend not to season the rice with salt too heavily when you serve with salty curry.
