Frequently Asked Questions
What's the Difference Between Cooking With Whole vs. Ground Spices?
There isn't any difference between cooking with whole spices and ground spices. After harvesting, all spices are ground. There is no quality difference.
However, this price differential is quite significant. Whole spices can be more expensive due to the labor involved in their processing. But the taste is worth it.
When you buy bulk spices, you may get additional discounts. If you buy a whole bag of cinnamon sticks, you may get a discount.
This is true for cloves, ginger and cardamom. You may be able save money if you buy these spices in bulk.
Ground spices are also more durable than whole spices. Ground spices quickly lose their potency due to oxidation.
The main reason we recommend whole spices over dried is that they can add lots of flavor to recipes.
You can make a delicious curry by using whole turmeric in place of ground turmeric. You can also use whole coriander to create a spice combination for chicken dishes.
Grinding spices takes time. If you're buying whole spices it makes sense for you to buy large quantities. So that you don’t run out of spices, it’s a smart move.
Is Thai cooking made with garlic?
Thai cuisine makes use of garlic. Garlic is often used to make Thai dishes, including salads and soups, stir-fries and curries, as well as sauces and sauces.
Thai garlic is chopped and fried together with ginger, shallots and other spices. You can also eat it with sticky rice.
Garlic is best chopped finely and mixed with oil, chilli paste, fish sauce, lime juice and oil. This mixture is called Nam Phrik (namphrik). Nam phrik is often accompanied by grilled chicken or beef.
What are the principal Flavours in Thai Cuisine?
Thai cuisine includes several distinct regional cuisines. There are five main types of Thai cuisine: Northern, Central, Southern and Eastern. Each region has its own unique flavour profile.
Thai food has many common flavors, including sweet, salty.
Sweetness is essential for Thais because it makes the dishes palatable. Thai cuisine has a lot of sweet ingredients such as coconut milk and palm sugar (gula Melaka).
Thailand's most popular food is sourness. Sour foods are often served alongside hot dishes. This combination helps balance out the heat.
Spicy food is another crucial ingredient in Thai food. Thai dishes often use spices such as chili pepper, galangal or ginger root.
What are the 11 Indian spices used in Indian cooking
Indian cuisine is made up of eleven spices: coriander seeds; cumin seeds; fennel and mustard seeds; nigella and black pepper; cloves, cinnamon sticks; dry red chili powder; turmeric and cardamom.
These ingredients are used in almost every dish. These spices add a unique flavor to dishes like curries, chutneys and pickles, rice, bread, and desserts.
Spices are also important for health reasons. For example, turmeric helps fight cancer cells. Bad breath is prevented by cloves. Black pepper reduces cholesterol levels. Cinnamon lowers blood pressure. And ginger aids digestion.
A spice rack can be a wonderful kitchen tool, as it allows for you to try different flavors. You can either make your own spice blends or purchase ready-made spices.
Some people do not like to add spices to their food. They believe that spices only mask natural flavors and do nothing to improve them. However, adding a pinch of salt or pepper is no harm in enhancing the flavor of your meals.
Most chefs agree that spices are a vital part of culinary art. Many dishes would taste bland and boring without spices. If you are feeling adventurous, try out a new dish and see what happens.

How To
How to store cooking spices?
I will tell you how to store cooking spices for optimal performance. We must first understand the science behind food storage.
Because spices lose their flavour when exposed to the sun, they are best kept out of reach from light. This is because oxygen reacts with organic compounds like those in spices to cause oxidation.
To prevent oxidation of spices, keep them in dark cupboards. Spice tends to lose its flavour quickly if these conditions aren't met.
You can preserve the flavor of spices by keeping them in sealed jars, away from direct sunlight.
You can flavor water by adding herbs and spices. To make a cinnamon-flavored drink, combine two teaspoons of ground ginger with half a cup of warm water. Stir and mix well. Add a squeeze or lemon juice to the mixture and serve immediately.
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.
If you have leftover cooked vegetables, fruit, meats, poultry, fish, shellfish, eggs, cheese, bread, crackers, cookies, cakes, pies, or puddings, they can be added to your favourite recipes as snacks.
For the best flavor of fresh herbs, you can chop them up or tear them apart and then add them to your favorite foods. Also, you can freeze herbs and spice by placing them into ice cube dishes or muffin cups. Once frozen transfer to zip-top plastic bags or freezer bags.
