Curried dishes are no longer reserved for special occasions. They're now commonplace in India. These dishes can be chicken, beef (lamb), fish, or vegetables.

What does Thai spice serve?

We all have heard the term Thai spices, but we don't understand what it really means. We are left wondering why we don't eat more Thai spice when our mouths water.

It isn't just any spice. It's an essential ingredient that adds flavor and depth to dishes that would otherwise be 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 used herbs and spices since ancient times to enhance food and drink. Thai comes from the Sanskrit term for "to prepare".

Many Thais love spicy foods, even today. This preference can be attributed to Thailand’s hot weather. It is difficult to stay warm when you don't have something to drink. Thais consume more chili peppers than Americans and Europeans.

You can learn the most about Thai spices by visiting a local Asian grocery. You'll find many ingredients there, including fresh basil leaves, dried chilies and curry paste.

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.

There are two types of spices in Thai cuisine: dry and wet. Wet spices are ground finely, while dry spices are typically ground.

Dry spices are often added to a dish directly. For example, you can sprinkle ground red pepper onto your chicken soup. Mixing wet spices with oil or butter can create a paste.

Wet spices are commonly used in marinades and sauces. Some common wet spices include fish sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, curry paste, and hoisin sauce.

Thai recipes can be prepared at home by knowing which spices pair well with what ingredients.

Red pepper flakes should be used if you're using beef. If you're using seafood like shrimp, white pepper should be used.

If you don’t have access or the means to order from an Asian market, it is possible to order online. You can find everything here, from dried chilies to exotic spices and herbs.
