Step 1 of 4

Toast the spices in the fat

Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and add the turmeric, the grated ginger, the cinnamon and the black pepper. Stir for about thirty seconds until it smells earthy and warm. This short step is why it does not taste like dusty milk.

— Turmeric stains everything it meets. Use a pan you do not love and wipe the counter as you go.
