No, I don't dry fry tumeric. Usually only dry fry whole spices unless a
recipe specifically says to dry fry, say, ground cummin or coriander.
I would add the tumeric to the cooking pan with the other spices,
often after the onions have been fried up in ghee or oil.
Tumeric is a more delicate spice . I heard the other day in the media
that it is really good for you in one's diet! I love adding it to
rice accompanying curries (with a tsp of garam masala). Yum.

Cheers
