Hi Maddy, I haven’t used fresh turmeric before (will be looking for it now!), but have often used dried turmeric roots when grinding my own Indian spice mixes – you can buy packs of dried turmeric roots at most Indian grocery stores here in the UK.

i love love love laksa! and this looks delicious. i make a similar paste but use more chilli, but i’m curious to try yours out.
the aubergine is an interesting addition too, but would it not get too soggy?

Hi Sarah, if you ensure the aubergines to be deep golden brown they do not go as soggy as one to expect. They add a meatiness to the dish, the pea aubergines where a very good and super interesting find and they do not go soggy at all.

I’m not too sure about Rick either, but I love the latest book. I cooked a few dishes from it already, and they were all amazing. One of them was with fresh turmeric (Yellow prawn curry), and the taste and aroma of it were a revelation to me. Simply gorgeous. Unfortunately, it took me a week to get rid of the stains from my hands!

Love your photo ,btw.

Sounds like a great little Oriental store that you have.

Maybe there should be a warning about fresh turmeric and what it does to your skin and clothes for those who happen upon some. It can be deadly with your clothes.

Try some candlenuts or macadamias or brazil nuts in the mix too.
