Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common spices, condiments and seasonings that Thais use in their cuisine?
Thai cuisine is an amalgamation of influences from across Asia. Its roots lie in India, China, and Southeast Asia.
Freshness is the main ingredient in Thai cuisine. There is much more flavour when ingredients are picked early and cooked quickly. This is why meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts, seeds, and grains are often eaten raw and served hot.
Spices and sauces enhance the flavor and complexity of dishes. 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. They are frequently used.
How to Store Spices
Keep them out of the sun and heat.
If you want to keep spices fresh for a long time, place them into a dark cupboard. This will preserve them and prevent any oxidation.
Keep your spices out of direct sunlight and in a cool dry place. You can lose the aroma and flavor of your spice if it is near a heater or window.
Spices should be stored in an airtight tin or glass jar. Avoid storing spices in plastic containers.
After opening the seal, make sure to inspect it again. Humidity can cause spoilage.
Do not throw away any spices that you have left over. Don't throw them away, instead use them in new recipes. To prolong their shelf life you can freeze them.
What is the difference between cooking Whole and Ground Spices? Ground Spices?
There are no differences between cooking with whole spices or ground spices. After harvesting, all spices are ground. So there is no difference in quality.
The price difference is however significant. Whole spices can be more expensive due to the labor involved in their processing. But the taste is worth it.
Buy whole spices and you'll often receive additional discounts. If you buy a whole bag of cinnamon sticks, you may get a discount.
The same is true for nutmeg cloves ginger, cardamom, and ginger. These spices can be purchased in bulk to save money.
Ground spices don't last as long as whole spices. Because ground spices lose potency quickly from oxidation, this is why whole spices last longer than ground spices.
Whole spices are a great way to add personality and flavor to your recipe.
A delicious curry can be made with whole turmeric as opposed to ground turmeric. For chicken dishes, whole coriander seeds can be ground to make a spice blend.
The process of grinding spices takes a lot of time. If you're buying whole spices it makes sense for you to buy large quantities. So you don't run short of spices.
Almond Flour or Almond Meal? What is the difference?
A almond meal is a versatile almond flour alternative that can be used to bake, cook, or even make nut-free dishes.
Almond flour might also contain gluten, which can make it hard to digest. Gluten-free foods should be avoided if you have celiac Disease or any other digestive condition.
Almond flour may not be considered a "superfood", per se, but it contains healthy fats as well as fibre, protein and vitamin E.
The nutritional benefits of the almond meal include magnesium, copper, iron, zinc, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and vitamins A, B1 (thiamin), and C. In addition, it provides 25 percent of the daily value for folate, 20 percent for niacin, 15 percent for pantothenic acid, and 5 percent for riboflavin.
Because it's made from almonds, almond flour contains monounsaturated fatty acids, while almond oil contains polyunsaturated fatty acids. Both types help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels.
Almond flour is also rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids and phenolics. These compounds prevent free radical-induced oxidative stress.
A study published in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry found that almond flour had antioxidant activity equivalent to that of blueberries, cranberries, pomegranates, and red wine grape juice.
Almond flour is usually sold alongside almond milk, fortified with additional nutrients.

How To
Are you a master of making curry paste?
Curry paste contains dried chillies and shallots, galangal roots, lemongrass (kaffir lime leaf), garlic, shrimp paste, sugar and salt. It is used extensively in Thai cuisine.
Curry paste is a popular condiment in Southeast Asia. Curry paste can add a distinct flavour to many dishes like curries.
It's very simple to make this at home. Just follow our step-by-step guide below:
Step1 - Prepare Ingredients
- You need to prepare all ingredients before starting this recipe.
- Start by peeling and chopping shallots (about 2 cups). Cut galangal root in small pieces, about 3 inches long. Set aside.
- Next, cut four garlic cloves into pieces. Peel and finely mince lemongrass stems (about 1/2 inch thick).
- Crush the red chilli peppers with about four tablespoons of water and remove the seeds.
- Next, slice the kaffir lime leaves in thin strips of about 5 inches. Take out the white part and place it in a bowl.
- After draining the shrimp paste, wash it well and then coarsely smash it.
- Finally, measure the sugar and salt.
Step2 - Grind Ingredients
- Blend all ingredients until smooth
- The texture should look similar to peanut-butter.
- Not to worry if the dish contains too much oil, you can use water to replace it.
Step3 - Add Coconut Milk
- Mix in coconut milk and stir well.
- Slowly add coconut water to prevent the paste from getting too sticky.
- You can reduce the amount of chillies and increase the quantity of galangal root if you prefer it less spicy.
- If you prefer it spicy, add more chillies or less galangal roots. The final result should taste delicious to you.
Step4 – Serve
- Top with your favorite food.
- Enjoy!
