Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference of curry and curried
There is no difference in spelling. Both words refer to the same thing: an Indian dish combining meat or vegetables with various seasonings.
Curry comes from the Hindi word kari meaning "to rub." This term refers to how the spice mixture is rubbed 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. You can also add raita (a yogurt sauce), or chutney (a sweet relish).
What are the uses of Thai spice?
We've all heard the term "Thai spice" thrown around without knowing exactly what it means. It makes our mouths water when we try it.
It's not just any spice. It's an essential ingredient that adds flavor and depth to dishes that would otherwise be bland.
Although there are many recipes that call for Thai spices in large numbers, very few recipes actually use the true thing. Let's find out how to add these wonderful flavors to your dishes.
Thais have used herbs and spices since ancient times to enhance food and drink. Thai is the Sanskrit word that means "to cook".
Thais are still fond of spicy foods. 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.
The best way to learn about Thai spices is to visit a local Asian grocery store. 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.
Thai cuisine uses both dry and wet spices. Dry spices are usually ground, while wet ones are crushed or pounded finely.
Dry spices can be added to any dish. A good example is chicken soup with ground red pepper. A paste is made by combining wet spices and oil with butter or butter.
Wet spices are commonly used in marinades and sauces. The most popular wet spices are fish sauce (oyster sauce), sesame oil, sesame paste, curry paste, and Hoisin sauce.
Thai recipes can be prepared at home by knowing which spices pair well with what ingredients.
Red pepper flakes are recommended for 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. There are many options for exotic herbs, spices and dried chilies.

What are the 11 Indian spice blends?
Coriander seeds and cumin seeds are the eleven main spices in Indian cuisine.
These ingredients can be found in almost all dishes. These spices give a distinctive taste to dishes such as dal (lentils), curries, chutneys, pickles, rice, bread, and sweets.
For health reasons, spices are also beneficial. One example is turmeric, which helps fight cancer cells. Bad breath can be prevented with cloves. Black pepper helps lower 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 have the option to make your own mixes of spices, or you can buy ready-made ones that include all the essential spices.
Some people prefer not to add any spices to their food. They believe spices only mask natural flavor and do little to enhance them. There is nothing wrong with adding salt or pepper to enhance the flavor of your meals.
Most chefs agree spices are essential to culinary art. Without them, many dishes would be bland and tasteless. Next time you feel inspired, try a new recipe.

How To
How to store spices for cooking?
This article will show you how to store cooking spice for optimal performance. First, we must understand how food is stored.
Keep spices out of direct sunlight as light will reduce their flavor. This is due to oxygen combining with organic compounds, such as spices.
To avoid oxidation, spices must be kept 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.
To create a flavorful drink, you can add spices and herbs to water. Mix two teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 1/2 cup warm water. Stir well. Add a squeezed lemon juice and serve immediately.
Dried herbs can be added to soups stews, casseroles pasta dishes rice dishes salads and desserts. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly on the dish, and let it sit for five to ten minutes before you serve.
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.
You can enjoy the fresh flavours of fresh herbs or spices by chopping them up and adding them to food while they are still hot. You can also freeze spices and herbs by placing them in muffin cups or ice trays and freezing them. Transfer frozen items to zip-top or freezer bags.
