Frequently Asked Questions
What are the 7 Indian spices you use?
Indian spices are a group of spices used in Indian food. They usually include cardamom (also known by hing), cumin, turmeric, coriander,fenugreek, ginger, and asafoetida. This spice blends natural ingredients to create flavour and aroma. Combining spices creates unique flavour profiles that make Indian food so special.
Cardamom has a pungent, sweet taste with hints o citrus and ginger. It is often used to flavour curries and rice dishes like biryani. Cumin has a earthy aroma and a rich, bitter flavour. It's often used in curries, dals, and meat dishes. Coriander gives dishes a mild nuttiness due to its sweet citrus aroma. It is used often to season vegetables and lentils.
Turmeric has an earthy taste with mustard, spices, hints of pepper. This spice is used in many dishes, including curries. It has a golden colour. Fenugreek has a rich aroma, earthy tones, and a slightly bitter flavour. It is commonly used to season meat dishes, such as kebabs and curry. Ginger is spicy and pungent, with hints citrus. It is a perfect addition to curries, soups, and chutneys. Asafoetida is a spice that has strong flavors and a pungent smell.
These spices combine to create unique flavours that make Indian cuisine so distinctive.
Is it possible to add spice to a drink?
I love how spices add flavor to food. How do you make spices alive in drinks?
Spices can bring out the best of any beverage. A dash of cinnamon and nutmeg can make any beverage more delicious, including coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and cocktails.
However, most recipes call for ground spice so you will need fresh whole spices. This is sensible, but it can be expensive, time-consuming, and requires storage space.
This is where the magic happens. It's possible to transform your favorite spices into a powdered form that is easy to use with a bit of creativity. These spices can be mixed into favorite beverages to create tasty spiced drinks.
Two ways can you make powders. One method involves grinding whole spices into fine powder. A mortar and pestle is another method to grind the spices to a finer consistency.
No matter which method you use, the powder will be much easier to measure and store than whole spices. The powder is stable so you don't run low on stock.
You can also experiment with different spices to create new flavor combinations. To make minty water, you can combine spearmint and peppermint leaves. Or ginger and cardamom pods to make spicy ginger tea.
Once you've mastered making powdered spices, you can apply the same technique to herbs. Some popular herbs include basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, and sage.
The possibilities are endless. You can use powdered spice to enhance the flavour of your drinks or dishes like soups, salads, or pasta.
What are the main spices, condiments, seasonings and herbs used in Thai cuisine?
Thai cuisine is an amalgamation of influences from across Asia. Its roots are found in India and China, as well as Southeast Asia.
Freshness is the main ingredient in Thai cuisine. Ingredients that are quickly cooked and picked at the right time will have more flavour. This is the reason meat, fish, fruits and vegetables are often eaten raw.
Sauces and spices add depth and flavor to dishes. Fresh basil, cilantro, mint, coriander (cilantro), lemongrass, ginger, turmeric, garlic, chillies, chilli paste, soy sauce, tamarind juice, oyster sauce, palm sugar, coconut milk, lime leaves, galangal root, curry powder, shrimp paste, fish sauce, tamarind water, rice vinegar, etc. These are often used.

How To
Are you a master of making curry paste?
Curry paste contains dried chillies and shallots, galangal roots, lemongrass (kaffir lime leaf), garlic, shrimp paste, sugar and salt. It is widely used in Thai cuisine.
One of the most widely used condiments in Southeast Asia is curry paste. It gives many dishes a unique taste, including curries, soups stir-fries, stir-fries and salads.
It's not difficult to make at home! Follow our step-bystep guide below.
Step1 - Prepare Ingredients
- Before you can start the recipe, it is important to have all the ingredients ready.
- Peel and chop shallots (about two cups). Then, cut the galangal roots into small pieces (approximately 3 inches in length), and then set aside.
- Next, you will need to peel and slice the garlic cloves (about 4 cloves). Next, peel and mince the lemongrass stems (about 1/2-inch thick).
- After that, you will need to crush dried red chili peppers (about four tablespoons) before removing the seeds (optional).
- Next, trim the kaffir lime leaves into strips about 5 inches in length. Remove the white part of the stem and set it aside.
- Once the shrimp paste has been drained, rinse it and then coarsely crush it.
- Final, weigh out salt and sugar.
Step2 - Grind Ingredients
- Combine all ingredients and blend until smooth.
- The texture should be very similar to peanut butter.
- If you would like to reduce the amount oil in your dish, you could substitute water for some of it.
Step3 - Add Coconut Milk
- Add coconut milk to the mixture and mix well.
- Slowly add coconut water to prevent the paste from getting too sticky.
- If you prefer less spicy, add fewer chillies and more galangal root.
- If you prefer it spicy, add more chillies or less galangal roots. The final result should taste good to you.
Step4 - Serve
- Serve with your favourite foods.
- Enjoy!
