Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference in curry and curried?

It doesn't matter how the spelling is written. Both words refer the same thing: Indian food that uses meats and vegetables along with different 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 weren't always reserved for special occasions. Today, they can be enjoyed throughout India. They include chicken, beef and lamb as well as fish, 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's the difference between cooking whole and with ground spices? Ground Spices?

There are no differences between cooking with whole spices or ground spices. All spices can be ground once they have been harvested. This ensures that there are no differences in the quality of spices.

The price difference is however significant. Whole spices are more expensive due to the labour required for processing them. However, the flavor is worth it.

Buy whole spices and you'll often receive additional discounts. If you buy a whole bag of cinnamon sticks, you may get a discount.

The same goes for nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cardamom, etc. You may be able save money if you buy these spices in bulk.

Ground spices last much longer than whole spices. Because ground spices lose potency quickly from oxidation, this is why whole spices last longer than ground spices.

However, the main reason we recommend whole spices is because they add character to recipes.

You can make a delicious curry by using whole turmeric in place of ground turmeric. To make a spice mixture for chicken dishes, you can grind whole coriander seed.

Also, grinding spices takes time. When you buy whole spices, it makes sense to buy a large quantity. So you don't run short of spices.


Can you put spice in a drink?

I love spices adding flavour to food. How can you make spices come to life when they are used in drinks?

Spices are wonderful because they can add depth and flavor to any beverage. There's nothing better than adding cinnamon or nutmeg in your glass of wine or beer, whether it's coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or cocktails.

But most recipes call for ground spices, meaning you'll need fresh whole spices. It makes sense but is time-consuming and expensive.

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. You can then mix the spices into your favorite beverages to make delicious spiced drinks.

Two ways can you make powders. One method involves grinding whole spices to a fine powder. Another way is to grind the spices in a mortar and pestle.

No matter which method you use, the powder will be much easier to measure and store than whole spices. Powder also keeps well so you won't run dry.

You can even experiment with mixing different spices to create new flavours. You could make minty water by combining spearmint and peppermint. For spicy ginger tea, use ginger and cardamom capsules.

Once you've learned how to make powdered spices from scratch, you can apply the same process to herbs. You can use basil, rosemary and thyme as common herbs.

The possibilities are limitless. Powdered spices can be used to add flavour to beverages or enhance the flavor of dishes like soups, salads and pasta.


What spices can be used in Thai cooking

Thai cuisine is famous for its complex flavor profiles. These flavours come from unique and flavorful spices that create various delicious dishes.

Common ingredients used in Thai cooking include lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, chillies, garlic, shrimp paste, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and more.

Each spice contributes to Thai cuisine's distinctive flavour profile. It is used often in soups and curries; galangal lends a slightly peppery taste to dishes; chillies add a spicy kick; garlic gives dishes an umami depth; shrimp paste adds a subtle, but fragrant, aroma to dishes; coriander brings out a mild, yet pleasant aroma to dishes; cumin adds a smoky flavor to dishes; and turmeric gives food a vivid yellow color.

Combining these spices together creates complex flavour profiles, which are unique to Thai food. By using a combination of spices, chefs can create dishes that are both flavorful and aromatic. Stock up on these spices if you want to incorporate the Thai flavours into your cooking.

How To

How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms?

So the shiitakes have been doing well. You can't go wrong with them. How do we cut them? We have tried everything, even using scissors. But they keep falling out our hands. What's going on here?

You have a trick. Use a rubber band to secure the stem of your mushroom. This will ensure that you don't fall and break your wrists.

This may seem too simple. It is. But it's also very effective.

The rubber band makes it slippery so that it feels natural when you pick up the stem. You can also hold the stem tight.

Try it now. You'll be amazed at how much easier it is to cut mushrooms now.
