Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most important flavours in Thai cuisine?
Thai cuisine includes several distinct regional cuisines. These include Northern, Central and Southern Thai food. Each region has its own unique flavour profile.
The most common flavours in Thai food are sweet, salty, sour, spicy, bitter, pungent, and nutty.
Thais appreciate sweetness. It makes Thai food taste better. Thai cuisine includes sweet ingredients like palm sugar (gulamelaka) or coconut milk.
Sourness is also very popular in Thailand. Hot dishes can often be paired with sour foods. This helps to balance the heat.
Thai food is not complete without spicy food. Spices such as chilli pepper, galangal, ginger root, and garlic are used extensively in Thai recipes.
What are the 11 Indian spices?
Indian cuisine has eleven spices: cumin seeds (coriander seeds), mustard seeds (fennel seeds), nigella seeds and black pepper.
These ingredients are used in almost every dish. These spices impart a distinct flavor to dishes such as curries (lentils), curries and chutneys. They also add a unique taste to rice, bread, and sweets.
Also, spices have many health benefits. One example is turmeric, which helps fight cancer cells. Cloves help protect against bad breath. Black pepper helps lower cholesterol levels. Cinnamon lowers blood pressure. And ginger aids digestion.
A spice rack makes a great kitchen tool. It allows you to experiment with many different combinations of flavours. You can make your own blends of spices or buy ready-made mixes containing many essential spices.
Some people don't like spices. Some people believe spices can only mask the natural flavor of food and don't improve it. A pinch of salt or pepper will not harm your dishes.
Most chefs agree spices are essential to culinary art. Many dishes would be bland and tasteless without spices. If you are feeling adventurous, try out a new dish and see what happens.
What's the difference between curried and curry?
There is no difference in spelling. Both words are used to describe the same thing: Indian dishes that combine 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. Curry is typically prepared until the food is golden brown.
Curried dishes were once reserved for special occasions, but today, they're enjoyed frequently throughout 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. Other common accompaniments include raita (a yogurt sauce) and chutney (a sweet relish).
What Thai spice will I need to make Thai food home?
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.
Cinnamon brings out the sweetness of black pepper, while white pepper enhances the savoury flavours. Coriander seeds provide a spicy kick and turmeric gives curry powder the yellow color it is known for. Cayenne peppers provide heat and cilantro provides freshness. Finally, cinnamon adds depth and complexity to any dish.
Each of these spices can be found at your local grocery, but you may prefer to buy them online.
Almond Flour vs. Almond Meal. What's The Difference?
A almond meal is a versatile almond flour alternative that can be used to bake, cook, or even make nut-free dishes.
Almond flour might also contain gluten, which can make it hard to digest. If you have celiac disease or another digestive disorder, it's essential to avoid gluten-free foods.
Almond flour isn’t considered a superfood per se but it does contain healthy fats, fibre and protein and no cholesterol.
The almond meal provides nutritional benefits such as magnesium, iron, zinc and manganese. It also contains vitamin A, B1 (thiamin), C, and folate.
Almond flour is made from almonds and contains monounsaturated fat acids. Almond oil, however, contains polyunsaturated oils. Both help to lower LDL (bad), and increase HDL levels.
Almond flour is high in antioxidants including phenolics, flavonoids, and proanthocyanidins. These compounds prevent free radical-induced oxidative stress.
A study published by the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry revealed that almond flour had an antioxidant activity equal to that of blueberries.
Almond milk is often sold with almond flour, which has been fortified with additional nutrients.
