Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make Thai food at home using Thai spices?

You will need to know five key spices in order to make authentic Thai food at your home: cayenne pepper, coriander seeds and turmeric. Each ingredient has its own unique flavour profile, and each plays an important role in creating delicious dishes.

Black pepper enhances the savoury flavors of curry powder, while cinnamon gives it sweetness. Coriander seeds give curry powder its distinctive yellow colour, while turmeric adds a spicy kick. Cayenne peppers provide heat and cilantro provides freshness. Cinnamon adds complexity and depth to any dish.

Each of these spices is available in your local grocery. If you'd rather buy them online, the following are our recommendations.

What is the difference between cooking with whole spices and using ground spices? Ground Spices?

There is no difference between cooking whole spices and with ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. The quality is the same.

However, the price difference is substantial. Whole spices can be more expensive due to the labor involved in their processing. However, the flavor is worth it.

You'll often find extra discounts for bulk purchases when you buy whole spices. You might get a discount if your entire bag is of cinnamon sticks.

The same applies to nutmeg and cloves, ginger or cardamom. 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.

Also, grinding spices takes time. It makes sense to purchase large quantities of whole spices when you are buying them. That way, you won't run out of spices too fast.

How to Store Spices

Keep them in an airtight, dry container away from heat or light.

If you want to keep spices fresh for a long time, place them into a dark cupboard. This will help keep them fresh and prevent any deterioration due to oxidation.

Keep your spices out of direct sunlight and in a cool dry place. The spice may lose flavour and aroma if placed near a window or heater.

Spices work best in an airtight jar or tin. You should ensure that the containers are not moistened if you store them in plastic containers.

Check the seal every time you open and reseal it. Heat can cause moisture to spoil your product.

Do not throw away any spices that you have left over. Instead, use them up by adding them to other dishes. You can even freeze them to extend their shelf life.

What's the difference of curry and curried

There is no difference in spelling. Both words refer the same thing: Indian food that uses meats and vegetables along with different seasonings.

Curry derives its name from the Hindi word kari which means "to rub." The spice mixture is then applied to the food. Curry foods are usually cooked until golden brown.

Although curried dishes used to be reserved for special occasions, today they are enjoyed all over India. They include chicken, beef and lamb as well as fish, vegetables and rice.

Plain white rice is usually served with curried dishes. Other common accompaniments include raita (a yogurt sauce) and chutney (a sweet relish).

Can you spice up a drink?

I love the way spices add flavour to food. But how can you make them live when they're used in drinks.

Spices can bring out the best of any beverage. From coffee to tea, hot chocolate to cocktails, there's nothing more satisfying than adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to a glass of wine or beer.

Most recipes call for ground spices. This means that you'll need fresh whole spice. This is sensible, but it can be expensive, time-consuming, and requires storage space.

Here's where the magic happens. With your creativity, you can turn your favorite spices into easy-to-use powdered products. Mix them with your favorite drinks to make delicious spiced beverages.

Two ways can you make powders. The first involves the grinding of whole spices to make fine powder. One method involves using a mortar-and-pestle to grind spices into a finer consistency.

It doesn't matter what method you choose, the result is easier to measure out than whole spices and easier to store. Plus, the powder keeps well so that you won't run out of stock.

You can also experiment with different spices to create new flavor combinations. For minty water you could mix spearmint with peppermint leaves. To make spicy ginger tea, you can also combine ginger and cardamom pods.

Once you are skilled in the production of powdered spices, it is possible to apply that technique to herbs. Some popular herbs include basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, and sage.

The possibilities are endless. Powdered spices are a great way to make your drinks more flavorful or to enhance dishes like soups and salads.

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.

Because spice's flavour is diminished by light exposure, it should be stored in airtight containers. This is due to oxygen combining with organic compounds, such as spices.

To avoid oxidation, spice should be kept in dark cupboards. Spice tends to lose its flavour quickly if these conditions aren't met.

Keep spices fresh by storing them in airtight jars out of direct sunlight.

You can flavor water by adding herbs and spices. Mix two teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 1/2 cup warm water. Stir well. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon.

Dried herbs and spices can be added to soups and stews, casseroles and rice dishes. Just sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the dish. Let it rest for 5-10 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.

For the best flavor of fresh herbs, you can chop them up or tear them apart and then add them to your favorite foods. Also, you can freeze herbs and spice by placing them into ice cube dishes or muffin cups. Once frozen, transfer to freezer bags or zip-top plastic bags.
