Turmeric Fried Rice

Another healthy recipe for the family that's easy and fast. Today, I'm going to make something with Turmeric.  Yes, turmeric. And no, we're not going to make a curry.

Turmeric has many benefits for the body.  It has bioactive compounds that has medicinal properties. It is a natural anti-inflammatory, as well as an antioxidant. It is also said to prevent cancer, or perhaps even cure it.  So, see, there's a lot of plus in eating this plant.

So, here's my take on a recipe which uses turmeric.
