In the recipe she used both butter and olive oil, does the type of fat/oil influence how well the turmeric is absorbed? Is it beneficial to use butter or can one replace it with olive oil rapeseed oil for same effect of turmeric absorption?

Lego Head Well the woman in this video seemed to disagree with that as does the op of this thread as implied by the wording "also" when talking about black pepper helping with absorption.

Lego Head I have read several articles stating the same: the Curcuming is fat soluble, so consuming it with fats helps it getting absorbed into the bloodstream from the intestines rather than being prematurely absorbed through the stomach wall. I bet you know how to cook great food but your chef credentials frankly don't tell me anything about your credentials as a bio chemist or a medical doctor. If you have some links to some studies that have compared the absorption rates of Curcumin with and without fats, that would naturally be great and we would not need to rely on subjective opinions.

We Indians use turmeric in almost everything. It gives colour, a nice mild aroma and is good for digestion. A lot of people drink haldi-doodh or turmeric-milk before going to bed, it keeps your skin and stomach all happy. You can also apply turmeric on your face but it can stain your face so make sure you put milk with it. Brides in India apply a face pack of turmeric, milk, honey and chickpea flour to get the glowing bridal face. Try it once.

I reccomend adding the dry rice and tumeric in with the garlic and shallots as they are sweating, that way the spice and the rice itself gets nice and toasted. Just and additional 45 seconds of stirring on heat.
