Galingal does have an aroma that includes hints of tumeric. The two do not
taste at all similar though. Galingal resembles in flavor ginger more than
anything else with an added flavor that I can't quite describe with any rel
accuracy. It is a sort of peppery ginger flavor. I don't think tumeric would
be a good substitute for galingal. I've even tried black pepper and ginger
combos and they did work either to capture the flavor.
