Steemit Engagement Challenge S9-W4: “My favorite ingredient.”
Cooking is one of the things I love doing since I was a child and whenever I'm in the kitchen with my mother I always pay attention to the ingredients she used while cooking. Everyone has special ingredients that make their food delicious and I can proudly say that I'm not an exception to that because I also have my favorite ingredients.
What is your favorite ingredient? Dimos that makes it different from others.
Among other ingredients, which I use to prepare my meal, my favorite ingredient is turmeric. Ooh yes, I love turmeric when it's been added to a meal. It makes the food more colorful, also it has this good aroma when which gets me off my feet anytime I perceive it in a meal.
Tumeric powder has a lot of health benefits to the body which helps in improving the immune system of the body. It is good for pain relief and is very rich in phytonutrients which help to prevent cancer, infection, and other diseases in the body.
I enjoy turmeric in all my meals, sometimes I use it alongside garlic just to make my food more delicious and have a good taste.
Is this ingredient often used in your home?
Ooh yes, I got to know about the ingredients from my mother, when I saw her using it at first I thought its another type of Ginger but when she explained the health benefits of turmeric that was when I learned how to make use of it in my food. And one good thing about it is that you can use it in any type of food. Be it soup, stew, jellof rice and many others.
Is this ingredient expensive? Share the price in your local currency and on Steem.
The ingredients are not expensive at all in my place, we usually buy the fresh turmeric and then washed it very well after which we sun dry it. When it is well-dried then we grind it into a powder form for easy usage. And you can get it everywhere either in powdered form or a very fresh one. Below is the price of my favorite ingredients.
| Ingredients | Price in Naira | Price in Steem |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh Tumeric | NGN 50 | 3 steem |
| Powder Tumeric | NGN 300 | 2 steel |
What recipes do you prepare with your favorite ingredient? If you have photos, we would like you to share some with us.
Well, as mentioned earlier I use turmeric in almost all my recipes but I enjoy it the most when I prepare paper chicken and fried rice with it. It gives me that food color that I need. Even though most people use coloring spices or Curry power to prepare their fried rice but I enjoy it better when I use natural ingredients to make my coloring food. Below are most of the dishes which I prepared with my favorite ingredient turmeric.
Conclusion
In conclusion, what makes a chef's food different from others is the ingredients used while cooking the food and I must say ingredients are powerful when cooking delicious meals. The ingredients every chef use brings out the taste, color, nutrients, and flavor of every meal But How accurately the chef uses the ingredients determines how sweet will be.
