Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between curry and curried?
It doesn't matter how the spelling is written. Both words refer to the same thing: an Indian dish combining meat or vegetables with various seasonings.
Curry is derived in Hindi from kari, which means to rub. This refers the way that the spice mix is applied onto the food. Curried foods should be cooked until they are golden brown.
Although curried dishes used to be reserved for special occasions, today they are enjoyed all over India. They can include chicken, beef, lamb, fish, vegetables, and rice.
Plain white rice is often served with curried dishes. Other common accompaniments include raita (a yogurt sauce) and chutney (a sweet relish).
What are the 11 spices of Indian cooking?
Coriander seeds and cumin seeds are the eleven main spices in Indian cuisine.
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.
For health reasons, spices are also beneficial. Turmeric, for example, is known to fight cancer cells. Bad breath is protected by cloves. Black pepper helps lower cholesterol levels. Cinnamon lowers blood pressure. And ginger aids digestion.
A spice rack can be a wonderful kitchen tool, as it allows for you to try different flavors. You can make your own blends of spices or buy ready-made mixes containing many essential spices.
Some people do not like to add spices to their food. They believe spices mask natural flavors and do not improve them. However, adding a pinch of salt or pepper is no harm in enhancing the flavor of your meals.
Most chefs agree that spices are an essential part of cooking art. Many dishes would be bland and tasteless without spices. If you are feeling adventurous, try out a new dish and see what happens.
Which Spices and Herbs are Best Served with Potatoes?
A potato is a great side dish for almost any meat. If you've been cooking potatoes lately, you may already know there are more ways to serve them than simply mashed.
These versatile vegetables can be used in a variety of dishes including soups, casseroles, and pasta dishes. Did you know that potatoes can be paired with many spices and herbs?
These tasty recipes will make your potato recipe even more delicious
How to Store Your Spices?
Keep them away from heat and light.
Place them in a dark cupboard to store spices for extended periods. This will keep the spices fresh and prevent any oxidation.
Your spices should be kept in cool and dry areas, away from direct sunlight. If the spice is placed near a heater or window, it may lose its flavour and aroma.
Spices need to be kept in an airtight glass container or tin. If storing in plastic containers, make sure there is no moisture inside the container.
As humidity can cause mold growth, it is important to check the seal before opening or resealing.
Do not throw away any spices that you have left over. Use them instead by adding them into other dishes. For an extended shelf life, you can freeze the vegetables.
What is the most popular ingredient in Thai cooking?
Thailand's main ingredients for all dishes are rice and curry. These two ingredients combine to produce a unique flavor.
Thais call this combination "Khao pad Krai," which translates to "the best dish." This is because the two basic foods can be combined to create something truly delicious and irresistible.
It's the same for your life. Combining hard work and perseverance can lead to great success.
Like Khao Pad Krai, you can also succeed by combining the right ingredients: passion and purpose. When you combine these ingredients, you can create something remarkable.
You should remember that Thai food requires more than curry and rice to create memorable meals. Experiment with other ingredients to see what fun it can be.
What is the difference between cooking with whole spices and using ground spices? Ground Spices?
There is no difference in cooking with whole spices and cooked with ground spices. All spices can be ground once they have been harvested. It doesn't make a difference in terms of quality.
The price difference is however significant. Whole spices cost more because of the labour involved in processing them. But the flavour is worth it.
You'll often find extra discounts for bulk purchases when you buy whole spices. An example: If you buy an entire bag full of cinnamon sticks, you might get a discount.
The same is true for nutmeg cloves ginger, cardamom, and ginger. This can help you save money on spices if you buy them in bulk.
Whole spices can also last longer than the ground spices. Ground spices lose their potency very quickly due to oxidation.
We recommend buying whole spices because they add flavor to your recipes.
You can make delicious curry using whole turmeric, instead of ground turmeric. Or you can grind whole coriander seeds to create a spice blend for chicken dishes.
Additionally, spices need to be ground. 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.
What are the most delicious Thai spices?
Galangal, galangal, coriander, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon and clove are the best Thai herbs. Cayenne pepper and clove are also good spices.
Some other valuable spices include rose petals, bay leaves, curry leaves, pandan leaves, kaffir lime leaves, vanilla beans, tamarind pods, lemon grass, basil, and mint.

How To
How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms
The shiitakes seem to be doing well. They are fine. However, how do you cut them without cutting yourself? We have tried everything, even using scissors. We keep losing them. What is the deal?
The trick is simple. To make the mushroom stem stick out, wrap a rubber band around it and twist it tightly. By doing this, you won’t slip and get cut.
You may be thinking that this seems too easy. It is. But it's also very useful.
The rubber band makes the stem slippery, so it feels natural when you pick it up. You can also hold the stem tight.
Try it now. You'll be amazed how easy it is to cut mushrooms.
