Galanga or galangal is it sometimes called is a rhizome popular in SE Asian cuisine. It looks a bit like ginger and is related to ginger, but doesn't resemble it in flavour. Galanga has an almost perfumey fragrance with a hint of citrus.
It is available fresh (from Hawaii) or frozen imported rom Thailand. Great flavour! I often add a few slices to curries.
BTW A mixture of galangal and lime juice is used as a tonic in parts of Southeast Asia. It is said to have the effect of an aphrodisiac, and act as a stimulant.
