Frequently Asked Questions
How to Store Spices
Keep them away from heat and light.
You can store them for long periods in a dark cupboard. This will keep the spices fresh and prevent any oxidation.
Your spices should be kept in cool and dry areas, away from direct sunlight. It is possible for the spice to lose its flavor and aroma if it's placed in close proximity to a window or heater.
Spices should be stored in an airtight tin or glass jar. If you are storing your spices in plastic containers, ensure there is no moisture.
It is vital to always check the seal after opening, resealing and before storing.
Do not throw away any spices that you have left over. Don't throw them away, instead use them in new recipes. To extend their shelf life, you can freeze them.
What's the difference of curry and curried
There is no difference between the spellings. Both words refer to the same thing: an Indian dish combining meat or vegetables with various seasonings.
Curry is derived from the Hindi word kari, which means "to rub". This refers to the way the spice mixture is applied to the food. Curried foods are typically cooked until browned.
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.
Plain white rice is commonly served with curried meals. You can also add raita (a yogurt sauce), or chutney (a sweet relish).
What does Thai spice serve?
Everyone has heard the term Thai spice, but not all know what it is. It makes our mouths water when we try it.
It's not just any spice. It is an essential ingredient that brings flavor and depth into dishes that might otherwise be boring.
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 derives its name from the Sanskrit phrase "to cook".
Most Thais like spicy food, even today. 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. You'll find many ingredients there, including fresh basil leaves, dried chilies and curry paste.
You might also find whole peppercorns and cloves as well as cinnamon sticks, star anise pods (star anise), cardamom pods ginger root, cumin seeds coriander seeds seeds, fennel seed, nutmeg mace, mustard seeds, saffron threads garlic, onion, rice vinegar, and tamarind juice.
Thai cuisine has two kinds of spices: wet and dry. Wet spices are ground finely, while dry spices are typically ground.
Dry spices can be added to any dish. For example, ground red pepper is sprinkled onto chicken soup. To make a paste, wet spices are often mixed with butter or oil.
Wet spices are often used in sauces, marinades, and dressings. Wet spices are used in many dishes, including fish sauce, oyster, sesame, sesame, sesame oil and curry paste.
Thai cuisine can be made at home by learning which spices work well with specific ingredients.
For example, if you are using beef, you should use red pepper flakes. If you use seafood like shrimp, you should use white pepper instead.
If you don't live near an Asian market, you can order online. Here you will find everything, from dried chilies and exotic herbs to spices.
These Thai recipes will make you hungry next time!
What is the difference between cooking with whole spices and using ground spices? Ground Spices?
There are no differences between cooking with whole spices or ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. It doesn't make a difference in terms of quality.
However, the price difference is substantial. Whole spices are more expensive due to the labour required for processing them. But the taste is worth it.
When you buy bulk spices, you may get additional discounts. A whole bag of cinnamon sticks might be eligible for a discount.
The same is true for nutmeg cloves ginger, cardamom, and ginger. You might be able to save money by buying these spices in bulk.
Ground spices last much longer than whole spices. Ground spices lose their potency rapidly due to oxygenation.
Whole spices are a great way to add personality and flavor to your recipe.
You can make a delicious curry by using whole turmeric in place of ground turmeric. For chicken dishes, whole coriander seeds can be ground to make a spice blend.
Also, grinding spices takes time. When you buy whole spices, it makes sense to buy a large quantity. You won't run low on spices if you buy large quantities.

How To
How do you make a garlic press?
A garlic press is one of the most valuable tools in any home cook's arsenal. It makes it easy to mince garlic into a paste, puree it into soups or salad dressings, or even make a sauce. It is also useful for crushing whole cloves of garlic into buttery spreads and garlic salt.
However, if you don’t already have a garlic pressing machine, you might wonder how to get one. We have some tips to help get you started.
First, you will need a large bowl. Then, place the bowl under the press and add the crushed garlic. Now, set the pressure regulator valve to the maximum.
Next, turn your handle clockwise to hear a click. The top of the press should lift up and expose a flat surface. This will allow you slide the blade back-and-forth over the bowl. Continue turning the handle in a clockwise direction until the blades come to a close.
Finally, take out the pressed ginger and enjoy!
Here are some other ways to use this versatile tool:
- You can add minced garlic to soups and sauces, salads, dips, or as a seasoning.
- You can crush whole garlic cloves using the press to make a buttery spread
- Crush whole cloves of garlic onto pizza dough before baking
- Roasted garlic can be incorporated into creamy polenta or mashed potatoes.
- The press can be used to make pesto from garlic
- Puree garlic in a smooth vinaigrette
