Frequently Asked Questions

What Spices or Herbs Are Best for Potatoes

A potato can be a side dish for any type of meat. You might have been cooking potatoes for a while and know that there are other ways to prepare them.

These versatile veggies can be used as a side dish in many dishes. Did you know that potatoes can be paired with many spices and herbs?

These recipes will help you spice up your next potato dish.

What is the difference between curry and curried?

There is no difference in spelling. Both words refer the same thing: Indian food that uses meats and vegetables along with different seasonings.

Curry comes from Hindi word kari that means "to rub". It refers how spice mixtures are applied to food. Curried foods should be cooked until they are golden brown.

While curried dishes were once reserved only for special occasions they are now enjoyed regularly throughout India. These dishes can be chicken, beef (lamb), fish, or vegetables.

Curried dishes can be served alongside plain white or brown rice. A raita (a yogurt-based sauce) or a chutney is another common accompaniment.

Does Thai use ginger?

Yes. Traditional Thai cuisine uses ginger extensively. Ginger is often used in stir-fries and soups, as well as desserts and drinks, such as lassis.

Ginger is a common ginger plant in China, Japan, Korea, and elsewhere. Its origins can be traced back to more than 5,000years ago. It is believed that ginger originated in Southeast Asia where it was grown for medicinal purposes.

Ginger has been shown to reduce nausea and stimulate digestion. It may even help prevent migraines. Ginger aids in relieving muscle spasms and joint pains. It can also treat arthritis.

Ginger is often fresh in Thailand. The ginger root is then cut into thin strips. Once dried, it can be stored for future use. In Asian markets, you can purchase ginger root in cans or in jars.

What's the Difference Between Cooking With Whole vs. Ground Spices?

There is no difference in cooking with whole spices and cooked with ground spices. After harvesting, all spices are ground. It doesn't make a difference in terms of quality.

The price difference is however significant. Whole spices are more expensive due to the labour required for processing them. But the flavour is well 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.

The same is true for nutmeg cloves ginger, cardamom, and ginger. You might be able to save money by buying these spices in bulk.

Ground spices are also more durable than whole spices. Ground spices lose their potency very quickly due to oxidation.

We recommend buying whole spices because they add flavor to your recipes.

A delicious curry can be made with whole turmeric as opposed to ground turmeric. You can also grind whole coriander leaves to make a spice mix for chicken dishes.

Additionally, spices need to be ground. It makes sense to purchase large quantities of whole spices when you are buying them. So that you don’t run out of spices, it’s a smart move.

What is the importance and purpose of spices?

A spice can be described as a seasoning to enhance flavour in food. Spices can be powdered, liquids or oils. They can also be called condiments or flavours.

You can spice up meals to make them more interesting. You can spice up dishes with many different spices for more flavor and excitement.

Hot pepper sauce may make soup taste better. A cup of cooked rice could be made more delicious by adding a few cayenne to the soup.

Fresh ingredients are the best way to try new spicing techniques. If you buy dried herbs, look for those that are organic. Fresh herbs last longer than dried.

Some spices are essential to cooking; however, there are some that you might prefer to avoid. Cinnamon sticks contain high amounts of coumarin, so they should not be eaten if you have a history of liver disease. Ginger also contains high amounts of coumarin. However, it is much more concentrated. People who do not have any liver problems are safe.

Which Thai spice do I need to cook Thai food at home?

You will need to know five key spices in order to make authentic Thai food at your home: cayenne pepper, coriander seeds and turmeric. Each ingredient has a unique flavor profile and plays an essential role in creating delicious dishes.

Cinnamon adds sweetness, while black pepper brings out savoury flavours. Coriander seeds provide a spicy kick and turmeric gives curry powder the yellow color it is known for. Cayenne peppers heat up the dish, while cilantro adds flavor and freshness. Finally, cinnamon can add depth and complexity in any dish.

You can find each of these spices at your local grocery store, but if you'd instead buy them online, here are our recommendations for where to shop.

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. But once we start to feel the heat in our mouths, we wonder why it hasn't been eaten more.

But it isn't just any old spice. It's an essential ingredient, which adds depth and flavor to dishes otherwise bland.

There are thousands of Thai recipes, but very few include the authentic flavor. Let's talk about how to make sure you add these amazing flavors to your meals.

Thais have been cooking with herbs, spices and other flavors since ancient times. Thai comes from the Sanskrit term for "to prepare".

Most Thais like spicy food, even today. This preference can often be attributed to Thailand's hot weather, which makes it hard to stay warm without hot beverages. Thais also consume more chili peppers per capita than Americans and Europeans.

It is a great way to learn more about Thai spices. There you will find a variety of ingredients such as dried chilies fresh basil leaves curry paste and ground black pepper.

You may also come across whole peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon sticks, star anise, cardamom pods, ginger root, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, nutmeg, mace, mustard seed, saffron threads, garlic, onion, rice vinegar and tamarind juice.

Thai cuisine offers two types of spices: dry and moist. Wet spices are ground finely, while dry spices are typically ground.

Dry spices are usually added to a dish. Ground red pepper can be sprinkled on chicken soup, for example. To make a paste, wet spices are often mixed with butter or oil.

Wet spices are often used in sauces, marinades, and dressings. The most popular wet spices are fish sauce (oyster sauce), sesame oil, sesame paste, curry paste, and Hoisin sauce.

How To

How to store cooking spice?

How to store cooking spices in a way that maximizes their performance. First, we must understand how food is stored.

Keep spices out of direct sunlight as light will reduce their flavor. This is due to oxygen combining with organic compounds, such as spices.

To avoid oxidation, spice should be kept in dark cupboards. If these conditions are not met, spices will quickly lose their flavour.

Keep spices fresh by storing them in airtight jars out of direct sunlight.

To make flavoured drinks, you can add herbs or spices to water. Mix 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of warm liquid and stir. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon.

Dry herbs and spices can also be used in soups, stews or casseroles. Just sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the dish. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before you serve.

Remaining cooked vegetables, fruit and meats can be used in your favorite recipes to make snacks.

To get the best flavours from fresh herbs and spices, cut them or tear them and add them to hot foods. You can also freeze herbs and spices by placing them in ice cube trays or muffin cups and freezing them. Once frozen, transfer to freezer bags or zip-top plastic bags.
