Kaempferia galanga
''Kaempferia galanga'', commonly known as kencur, aromatic ginger, sand ginger, cutcherry or resurrection lily, is a monocotyledonous plant in the ginger family, and one of four plants called galangal. It is found primarily in open areas in Indonesia, southern China, Taiwan, Cambodia and India, but is also widely cultivated throughout Southeast Asia.
==Culinary and medical use==
The plant is used as a herb in cooking in Indonesia, where it is called ''kencur'', and especially in Javanese cuisine and Balinese cuisine. ''Beras kencur'', which combines dried ''K. galanga'' powder with rice flour, is a particularly popular ''jamu'' herbal drink. Its leaves are also used in the Malay rice dish, ''nasi ulam''.
Unlike the similar ''Boesenbergia rotunda'' (Thai กระชาย ''krachai''), ''K. galanga'' is not commonly used in Thai cuisine, but can be bought as a dried rhizome or in powder form at herbal medicine stalls. It is known in Thai as ''proh horm'' (เปราะหอม) or ''waan horm'' (ว่านหอม). It is also used in Chinese cooking and Chinese medicine, and is sold in Chinese groceries under the name ''sha jiang'' (), while the plant itself is referred to as ''shan nai'' ().〔
〕 ''Kaempferia galanga'' has a peppery camphorous taste.〔
