Like things flavorful, spicy and oily? Turmeric actually goes well with yellow curry - same color perfect harmony of flavors. In fact, India has lower than average per capita of Alzheimer's disease for age > 80 and also lower than average inflammation issues such as rheumatoid arthritis. Slowly cool with coconut oil to make it a Thai spin off. Add basil for extra fragrant. Add chili pepper for extra heat. In this particular case, oily food may not be bad for you. Many believe that Turmeric actually binds well with oil which enables it to be absorbed. Capsules may not work. You will have to eat delicious food!
