Kachi Haldi Subji / Raw Turmeric Vegetable , is a speciality winter delicacy from Rajasthan, a beautiful state of India. Haldi subji is yogurt based, No Onion- No Garlic curry, which is flavoured with spices. Curry gives very unique taste and flavour. This dish is often made for festive occassions and marriages. One can serve this curry with rice, roti, paratha.

From thousands of years , we Indians using turmeric as medicine because of its healing and anti septic properties.

But curry from raw turmeric was something so new to me until I have tasted it in a marriage function.. I just loved it , since that time I wanted to try at home. As its seasonal , its available for very limited time in market and every year I just keep planning and season ends 😦

So this time when in Healthy Wellthy cuisine , a group of bloggers – who post fortnightly on a predecided theme, we choose Winter Delight as our theme , and I thought this curry suits the best.

In Winter, Raw Turmeric is available widely in market. So before this year’s season ends, try this unique and very delicious curry . I must admit , its very much calorie loaded curry as lots of ghee goes in , but once or twice in year definately one can indulge…

  12. Wow Ruchi – that’s so much turmeric in one recipe – we often pickle raw turmeric and it’s surprising how much more mild the flavour is compared to dried turmeric powder. So I can imagine how good this curry would be!
