Frequently Asked Questions
What are the 7 Indian spices that you can use?
Indian spices are a collection of spices used in Indian cuisine. They are usually made up of cardamoms, cumins, corianders, turmeric and fenugreek. They enhance flavour and aroma of dishes by blending with natural ingredients like meats and vegetables. These spices combine to create distinctive flavour profiles which are the hallmark of Indian cooking.
Cardamom's sweet, pungent flavor is balanced with ginger and citrus notes. It is used to flavour curries, rice dishes such biryani, and other Asian cuisines. Cumin has a earthy aroma and a rich, bitter flavour. It is often added to dals, curries, and meat dishes. Coriander is sweet and citrusy, adding a hint of nuttiness to dishes. It is commonly used to season vegetables, lentils, and other foods.
Turmeric has an earthy taste with mustard, spices, hints of pepper. This spice is popularly used in curries as well as other dishes. Fenugreek has an earthy aroma, a slight bitter flavor, and earthy tones. It is often used to season meat dishes like kebabs and curries. Ginger is spicy and pungent, with hints citrus. It can be used to spice up soups, curries and chutneys. Asafoetida, or hing, has a pungent aroma and strong flavor. It can be substituted for onion and garlic in 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 is no difference in cooking with whole spices and cooked with ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. The quality is the same.
However, the price differences are significant. Whole spices cost more because of the labour involved in processing them. But the taste is worth it.
Buy whole spices and you'll often receive additional discounts. For example, you might receive a discount if you buy an entire bag of cinnamon sticks.
The same applies to nutmeg and cloves, ginger or cardamom. These spices can be purchased in bulk to save money.
Ground spices are also more durable than whole spices. Ground spices quickly lose their potency 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 use whole coriander to create a spice combination 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 you don't run short of spices.
What is the most well-known ingredient in Thai cuisine?
In Thailand, two main ingredients make up the heart of all dishes: rice and curry. These two elements combine to create a memorable flavor.
Combining these two basic foods into one dish is known as "Khaopad Krai" in Thailand.
This is true for all aspects of life. You can achieve great success if you combine the right two ingredients - hard work and perseverance.
The right ingredients can make you successful, like Khao Pad Krai: passion and purpose. When you combine these ingredients, you can create something remarkable.
If you find yourself craving Thai food, keep in mind that Thai food is more than rice and curry. Try experimenting with other ingredients and see how much fun it can be!
What are the most common spices, condiments and seasonings that Thais use in their cuisine?
Thai cuisine is a mix of Asian influences. Its roots lie in India and China, along with Southeast Asia.
The essential ingredient of Thai food is freshness. Fresh ingredients have more flavor when they are picked and prepared quickly. This is why meats, fish, vegetables and fruits are often eaten raw and hot.
Spices and sauces give dishes depth and color. Fresh basil, cilantro, mint, coriander (cilantro), lemongrass, ginger, turmeric, garlic, chillies, chilli paste, soy sauce, tamarind juice, oyster sauce, palm sugar, coconut milk, lime leaves, galangal root, curry powder, shrimp paste, fish sauce, tamarind water, rice vinegar, etc. These are often used.
What's the difference between curried and curry?
There is no difference in spelling. Both words refer to the same thing: an Indian dish combining meat or vegetables with various seasonings.
Curry is derived in Hindi from kari, which means to rub. This refers the way that the spice mix is applied onto the food. Curried foods are generally cooked until they become golden.
Curried dishes are no longer reserved for special occasions. They're now commonplace in India. You can choose from chicken, beef, lamb or fish as well as vegetables and rice.
Curried dishes can be served alongside plain white or brown rice. The most common accompaniments are raita (a yogurt paste) and chutney.

How To
How can I store my cooking spices?
I'll show you how to store spices properly for best results. We must first understand the science behind food storage.
Keep spices out of direct sunlight as light will reduce their flavor. This is because oxygen reacts with organic compounds like those in spices to cause oxidation.
To avoid oxidation, spices must be kept in dark cupboards. Spice tends to lose its flavour quickly if these conditions aren't met.
Keep spices in airtight containers away from direct sun to preserve their flavour.
You can add herbs and spices to water to make a flavoured drink. Mix two teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 1/2 cup warm water. Stir well. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon.
Add dried herbs and spices to soups. Place the spice mixture on top of the dish and allow it to rest for 5-10 mins before serving.
Leftover cooked vegetables, fruits and meats, as well as leftover cheese, breads, crackers, cookies or cakes can be added to favorite recipes for snacks.
To get the best flavours from fresh herbs and spices, cut them or tear them and add them to hot foods. You can freeze herbs or spices by placing them on ice cube tray or muffin cups. Once frozen, transfer to freezer bags or zip-top plastic bags.
