Frequently Asked Questions
What are the seven Indian spices?
Indian spices include a range of spices that are used to make Indian cuisine. They typically include cardamom, cumin, coriander, turmeric, fenugreek, ginger, and asafoetida (also known as hing). They enhance flavour and aroma of dishes by blending with natural ingredients like meats and vegetables. Spices create unique flavour profiles, which make Indian cuisine so distinctive.
Cardamom has a sweet and pungent taste with hints of citrus and ginger. It's used in many dishes, including biryani and curries. Cumin has an earthy aroma and a rich, nutty flavour. It's often used in curries, dals, and meat dishes. Coriander adds a delicate nuttiness and sweet citrus aroma to dishes. It is often used to season vegetables and lentils.
Turmeric has an earthy flavour with mustard, spices, and pepper hints. This spice is used in curries and other dishes. It has a golden color. Fenugreek's aroma is rich and has earthy tones. It is often used as a seasoning for meat dishes like kebabs. Ginger is spicy, pungent, and has hints of citrus. It can be used to spice up soups, curries and chutneys. Asafoetida or hing has a pungent scent and strong taste that can replace onion and garlic for some recipes.
These spices produce unique flavors, which make Indian cooking distinctive.
What does Thai spice serve?
We've all heard the term "Thai spice" thrown around without knowing exactly what it means. But once we start to feel the heat in our mouths, we wonder why it hasn't been eaten more.
It's more than just a spice. It's an essential ingredient that adds flavor and depth to dishes that would otherwise be bland.
Many recipes call for Thai spice, but only a few have the actual thing. Let's talk about how to make sure you add these amazing flavors to your meals.
As far back as ancient times, Thais have been cooking with herbs and spices to add flavor to food and beverages. Thai is the Sanskrit word that means "to cook".
Thais are still fond of spicy foods. This preference is often explained by the hot climate in Thailand that makes it difficult to stay warm while drinking hot drinks. Additionally, Thais consume much more chili peppers than Europeans or Americans.
Visit a local Asian grocery shop to find out 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 uses both dry and wet spices. Most Thai cuisine uses dry spices, which are ground and pulverized finely.
Dry spices are often added to a dish directly. 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. Some common wet spices include fish sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, curry paste, and hoisin sauce.
If you want to try making Thai dishes at home, you need to know which spices go well with certain ingredients.
Red pepper flakes can be used to season beef. Use white pepper instead if you have seafood such as shrimp.
Online ordering is also possible if you don’t have an Asian market. You will find everything from dried chilies to exotic herbs and spices here.
So next time you get hungry, think about putting on a little extra heat by whipping up one of these tasty Thai recipes!
Does Thai use ginger?
The answer is yes. The traditional Thai cooking uses ginger heavily. Ginger is often used in stir-fries and soups, as well as desserts and drinks, such as lassis.
Ginger is a native of China, Japan, Korea and other Asian countries. Its origins go back over 5,000 years. It is believed to have originated in Southeast Asia, where it was cultivated for medicinal purposes.
Ginger has been shown to reduce nausea and stimulate digestion. It may even help prevent migraines. In addition, ginger aids in reducing muscle spasms, relieving joint pains, and treating arthritis.
Ginger is most commonly used fresh in Thailand. Ginger root is first cut into thin strips before drying and stored. Ginger root can be purchased in cans or jars at Asian markets.

How To
How do you decide which spices to purchase?
Cooking requires you to learn how to choose the right herbs for your recipes. There are hundreds of options, so where do you begin when deciding which ones to add to your pantry?
Three factors are important to consider when choosing spices. They are the taste profile, shelf live, and price. The flavour profiles of different types of food can vary depending on whether they are used to cook meat, fish or vegetables, as well as pasta, eggs and bread. So once you've decided on a category, you'll need to narrow down your choices based on these differences.
The shelf life of spices can also vary. Some spices last forever, while others expire quickly. Cayenne pepper can last for many years, while oregano only loses its potency in two months. The price is another factor. Prices for spices range from $1 per teaspoon to more than $100 an ounce. This means you need to balance quality and price.
Also, consider whether organic or not organic ingredients. Organic products contain fewer chemicals and pesticides than conventional alternatives, making them better for your health and the environment. They can be more expensive, so it's important to weigh the costs and the benefits.
Online shopping is the best method to ensure that you get the right spices for the kitchen. Online retailers offer detailed information about each product, including reviews, pricing, ratings, and ingredient lists.
Once you have narrowed down your choices, you can place an online order with the retailer. After you have received your items, keep them safe in an airtight container away from heat or light.
