Frequently Asked Questions
What are the uses of Thai spice?
It's a term we all have heard, even though we don't know what it actually means. We are left wondering why we don't eat more Thai spice when our mouths water.
But it isn't just any old spice. It's an essential ingredient, which adds depth and flavor to dishes otherwise bland.
Many recipes call for Thai spice, but only a few have the actual thing. Let's find out how to add these wonderful flavors to your dishes.
As far back as ancient times, Thais have been cooking with herbs and spices to add flavor to food and beverages. Thai is the Sanskrit word that means "to cook".
Most Thais like spicy food, even today. This preference is often attributed to the hot weather in Thailand, which makes it difficult to keep warm without something hot to drink. Additionally, Thais consume much more chili peppers than Europeans or Americans.
The best way to learn about Thai spices is to visit a local Asian grocery store. There will be a large selection of ingredients available including dried chilies (fresh basil leaves), curry paste, ground black pepper, and curry paste.
Whole peppercorns, whole cloves, cinnamon sticks and star anise may also be found.
Thai cuisine offers two types of spices: dry and moist. The dry spices are usually ground while the wet spices are crushed or pounded finely.
Dry spices are often added to a dish directly. A good example is chicken soup with ground red pepper. Wet spices are commonly mixed with oil or butter to form a paste.
Wet spices are usually used in marinades, sauces, and dressings. The most popular wet spices are fish sauce (oyster sauce), sesame oil, sesame paste, curry paste, and Hoisin sauce.
You need to be able to match certain spices with Thai ingredients if you wish to make Thai food at home.
For example, if you are using beef, you should use red pepper flakes. Use white pepper instead if you have seafood such as shrimp.
You can also order online if your Asian market is not available. This market has everything you need, including dried chilies as well as exotic herbs and spices.
So next time you get hungry, think about putting on a little extra heat by whipping up one of these tasty Thai recipes!
Thai food includes paprika.
Yes. It is a key ingredient in many dishes, such as Pad See Ew (Thai-fried rice), made from eggs cooked with coconut milk.
Thai food is a good example of paprika.
Paprika can be traced back over 5,000 years ago to Ancient Greece. The Hungarian language means "pepper" and the word "paprika".
What are the 7 Indian spices you use?
Indian spices include a range of spices that are used to make Indian cuisine. They usually include cardamom (also known by hing), cumin, turmeric, coriander,fenugreek, ginger, and asafoetida. These spices add flavour and aroma to dishes by blending and complementing natural ingredients such as meats and vegetables. Spices create unique flavour profiles, which make Indian cuisine so distinctive.
Cardamom has an earthy, sweet flavor with notes of ginger and citrus. It is used often to flavor curries and rice dishes such as biryani. Cumin has a earthy aroma and a rich, bitter flavour. It is used to spice up curries, dals and meat dishes. Coriander adds a delicate nuttiness and sweet citrus aroma to dishes. It is often used to season vegetables and lentils.
Turmeric has an earthy flavour with mustard, spices, and pepper hints. This spice is often used in curries, and other dishes. It also has a golden hue. Fenugreek possesses a rich, earthy scent, slightly bitter flavour, and earthy tone tones. It is often used as a seasoning for meat dishes like kebabs. Ginger is pungent and spicy with hints of citrus. It adds the perfect kick to dishes such as curries, chutneys, and soups. Asafoetida or hing has a pungent scent and strong taste that can replace onion and garlic for some recipes.
These spices together create unique flavors that make Indian food so special.
What's the Difference Between Cooking With Whole vs. Ground Spices?
There isn't any difference between cooking with whole spices and ground spices. All spices can be ground once they have been harvested. It doesn't make a difference in terms of quality.
The price difference is however significant. Whole spices cost more because of the labour involved in processing them. But the flavour is worth it.
Bulk purchases of whole spices can often get you additional discounts. For example, you might receive a discount if you buy an entire bag of cinnamon sticks.
This is true for cloves, ginger and cardamom. If you purchase these spices in bulk, you may be able to save money.
Whole spices can also last longer than the ground spices. Because ground spices lose potency quickly from oxidation, this is why whole spices last longer than ground spices.
But the main reason why we recommend purchasing whole spices is that they add a lot of character to recipes.
Whole turmeric can be used to make delicious curry. For chicken dishes, whole coriander seeds can be ground to make a spice blend.
The process of grinding spices takes a lot of time. A large amount of whole spices is a good idea. So you don't run short of spices.

How To
How to Make a Garlic Pressure?
A garlic press is one of the most valuable tools in any home cook's arsenal. It can be used to quickly mince garlic into a paste. It is also useful for crushing whole cloves of garlic into buttery spreads and garlic salt.
However, if you don’t already have a garlic pressing machine, you might wonder how to get one. These tips will help you get started.
First, you need a large dish. Place the bowl below the press and pour in the crushed garlic. Now, set the pressure regulator valve to the maximum.
Next, turn the handle clockwise until you hear a click. The top part of the press should lift off and reveal a flat surface that will allow you to slide the blade back and forth over the bowl. Keep turning the handle clockwise until you reach the end of the blades.
Finally, take out the pressed garlic.
Here are some other ways to use this versatile tool:
- You can add minced garlic to soups and sauces, salads, dips, or as a seasoning.
- Use the press for whole garlic cloves to make a buttery spread
- Before baking, crush whole cloves of garlic on pizza dough
- Mix roasted garlic in mashed potatoes or creamy pasta.
- Use the press to mash garlic into homemade pesto
- Puree garlic and make a smooth dressing
