Also known as Laos powder, ground galangal comes from a dried root similar in many ways to ginger but with a far more perfumed scent. Galangal is often used in Indonesian and Malaysian cookery and the hot, fragrant flavour is suitable in small quantities in many seafood curries and soup.

USES: Add a pinch of the powder in place of ginger to stir-fries, curries or soups. Replace about an inch of peeled and chopped fresh galangal with 1 tsp of galangal powder or use a mixture of fresh ginger and galangal powder to get a fresh galangal flavour.
