Garlic-Turmeric Oil and Crispy Garlic

This is really easy to make and handy to have in the kitchen. It results in two great additions for a plethora of recipes or as garnishes. Crispy golden fried garlic and garlic-turmeric infused oil.

Method:
Peel and slice thinly as much garlic as you would like to have available. I suggest 2 heads of garlic to make the exercise worthwhile.

• Fill a heavy bottomed pan with enough oil to deep fry the garlic.
  
• Add a teaspoon or so of turmeric
• When it starts to sizzle slightly add the garlic
• Stir occasionally and keep an eye on the garlic. It is quite easy to burn at this point
• When it begins to get golden and before it starts turning black, quickly take the garlic out of the oil and drain on paper towels
• Allow to cool and store it in an air-tight jar. This crispy fried garlic will keep indefinitely stored in this manner
• When the oil has cooled store it in a jar in a cool place

Use it for flavoring your hand-tossed Burmese salads!
