Haldi is the common North Indian name for turmeric.
Turmeric, known as "haldi" in North India and "manjal" in South India, is a vibrant yellow spice derived from the rhizomes of the Curcuma longa plant. It's a staple ingredient in many cuisines, particularly South Asian dishes, and is also recognized for its potential health benefits. The name "haldi" comes from the Sanskrit word haridra.
