Chef's Note
Using the stainless steel container for this recipe means that there won't be the slightest staining from items like turmeric, and cumin seeds won't mar the sides of the container. Blending these whole roots, spices, and seasonings down makes for a great sauce and addition to any quick-cooked meal.
