Turmeric is a spice that has been used in Indian cuisine for centuries. It has a warm, earthy flavor that pairs well with pork, chicken, and vegetables. In this recipe, turmeric is combined with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create a spice mixture that is both flavorful and complex. The spice mixture is rubbed over the pork chops before they are cooked, which helps to seal in the juices and flavor. The pork chops are then cooked in a skillet over medium-high heat until they are cooked through. The result is a juicy, flavorful pork chop that is perfect for a quick and easy meal.
