Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Thai use for mint?

Lime-leaf mint (Mentha cervina) is the most commonly used type of mint in Thai cuisine.

It is mild and lemony in flavour, which adds freshness as well as zing to dishes. Thai dishes often include other spices such as galangal (lemongrass), garlic, and coriander.

Mint is versatile and can be used both in sweet and savoury recipes. To achieve authentic Thai flavours, it is important to use the right spices, herbs and aromatics.

Make a Thai dish next time and add some lime-leaf mint to give it extra flavor.

Happy cooking!

What are the principal Flavours in Thai Cuisine?

Thai cuisine includes several distinct regional cuisines. These include Northern, Central and Southern Thai food. Each region is unique in its flavour profiles.

Thai food contains many flavors.

Thais love sweetness because it makes their dishes more delicious. Sweet ingredients such as palm sugar (gula melaka) and coconut milk play a significant role in Thai cuisine.

In Thailand, sourness is very popular. Hot dishes are often paired with sour foods. This combination balances out the heat.

Thai food has a lot of spicy ingredients. Thai cuisine is rich in spices like galangal, ginger root and chilli pepper.

Can you put spice in a drink?

I love how spices bring flavour to food. But how do you make spices liven up when they are added to drinks?

Spices are great because they bring out the best in 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.

However, most recipes call for ground spice so you will need fresh whole spices. Although this is logical, it can be costly, time-consuming, and takes up 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. Mix them with your favorite drinks to make delicious spiced beverages.

Two ways can you make powders. One method involves grinding whole spices to a fine powder. A mortar and pestle is another method to grind the spices to a finer consistency.

Whatever method you choose to use, you will find that powders are much easier than whole spices. You won't run short of powder, and it keeps well.

You can even experiment with mixing different spices to create new flavours. To make minty water, you can combine spearmint and peppermint leaves. For spicy ginger tea, use ginger and cardamom capsules.

Once you are proficient in making powdered spice, you can also apply this technique to herbs. Basil, rosemary, thyme and sage are some of the most popular herbs.

There are many options. Powdered spices can be used to add flavour to beverages or enhance the flavor of dishes like soups, salads and pasta.

What is the difference between curried curry and curried curry?

There is no difference in spelling. 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 foods are usually cooked until golden brown.

While curried dishes were once reserved only for special occasions they are now enjoyed regularly throughout India. They include chicken, beef and lamb as well as fish, vegetables and rice.

Plain white rice is commonly served with curried meals. Another common accompaniment is raita, a yogurt sauce, and chutney, a sweet relish.

What are the 7 Indian spices that you can use?

Indian spices include a range of spices that are used to make Indian cuisine. They typically include cardamom, cumin, coriander, turmeric, fenugreek, ginger, and asafoetida (also known as hing). These spices add flavour and aroma to dishes by blending and complementing natural ingredients such as meats and vegetables. Spices create unique flavour profiles, which make Indian cuisine so distinctive.

Cardamom has an earthy, sweet flavor with notes of ginger and citrus. It's used in many dishes, including biryani and curries. Cumin has a strong, earthy aroma as well as a rich and nuanced flavor. It's often used in curries, dals, and meat dishes. Coriander adds a delicate nuttiness and sweet citrus aroma to dishes. It is commonly used to season vegetables, lentils, and other foods.

Turmeric has an earthy flavour with mustard, spices, and pepper hints. This spice is used in curries and other dishes. It has a golden color. Fenugreek is a spice with a rich aroma and earthy tones. It also has a bitter taste. It is commonly used to season meat dishes, such as kebabs and curry. Ginger is pungent and spicy with hints of citrus. It gives a great kick to soups, curries, and chutneys. Asafoetida or hing has a pungent scent and strong taste that can replace onion and garlic for some recipes.

Together, these spices create unique flavors that make Indian cooking so distinct.

How To

How to store cooking spice?

I'll show you how to store spices properly for best results. First, let's understand how foods are stored.

Spices are stored in airtight containers away from the light because exposure to light diminishes their flavour. This is caused by oxidation, which happens when oxygen and organic compounds combine like spices.

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

Keep spices in airtight containers away from direct sun to preserve their flavour.

You can add herbs and spices to water to make a flavoured drink. Mix 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of warm liquid and stir. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and serve immediately.

Dry herbs and spices can also be used in soups, stews or casseroles. Just sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the dish. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before you serve.

Remaining cooked vegetables, fruit and meats can be used in your favorite recipes to make snacks.

You can enjoy the fresh flavours of fresh herbs or spices by chopping them up and adding them to food while they are still hot. You can also freeze spices and herbs by placing them in muffin cups or ice trays and freezing them. Transfer frozen items to zip-top or freezer bags.
