What is the difference in curry and curried?

The spellings are the same. Both words refer the same thing: Indian food that uses meats and vegetables along with different seasonings.

Curry derives its name from the Hindi word kari which means "to rub." The spice mixture is then applied to the food. Curried foods are generally cooked until they become golden.

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.

Curried dishes are typically served alongside plain white rice. You can also add raita (a yogurt sauce), or chutney (a sweet relish).

What spices are used to make Thai cuisine?

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

Common ingredients for Thai cooking are galangal, lemongrass, kaffirlim leaves, chillies and garlic.

Each spice contributes to Thai cuisine's distinctive flavour profile. You will often find lemongrass in soups, curries and stews. Galangal gives dishes a peppery flavor; chilies add a spicy kick to dishes. Shrimp paste adds umami depth to dishes. Coriander adds a mild yet fragrant aroma to dishes. Cumin adds a smokey flavour to dishes. Turmeric gives dishes a bright yellow hue.

Together, these spices combine to create complex flavour profiles unique to Thai cuisine. A combination of spices can be used to create both aromatic and flavorful dishes. You can bring Thai flavors to your kitchen by stocking up on these spices.

What mint is used for Thai food?

Thai cuisine's most used type is lime-leaf, or Mentha cervina.

It has a mild, citrusy flavour that gives dishes a freshness and zing. To enhance Thai cuisine's flavour, other spices like galangal, coriander, lemongrass and garlic are often added.

Mint is versatile and can be used both in sweet and savoury recipes. Using the right spices, herbs, and aromatics is essential to achieving delicious authentic Thai flavours.

For extra flavor, make sure to add lime-leaf mint next time you prepare a Thai meal!

Happy cooking!

Can you add spice into a drink

I love spices adding flavour to food. But how can you make them live when they're used in drinks.

Spices add a wonderful depth 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, since most recipes call to ground spices, you'll need whole spices. While this makes sense, it is costly, takes time and requires storage space.

Here is where the magic happens. With a little creativity, you can make your favorite spices easy to use in powdered form. These spices can be mixed into favorite beverages to create tasty spiced drinks.

These powders can be made in two ways. One way is to grind whole spices into fine powder. Another way is to grind the spices in a mortar and pestle.

Whichever method you choose, you'll find that the resulting powder is much easier to measure out and store than whole spices. You won't run short of powder, and it keeps well.

You can experiment with mixing spices to create different flavours. Peppermint and spearmint can be combined to make minty water. Ginger and cardamom pods can be used 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 limitless. Use powdered spices to give your beverages extra flavour or to enhance the taste of dishes such as soups, salads, and pasta.

What is the value of spices?

A spice can be described as a seasoning to enhance flavour in food. Spices can come in many forms: powders or liquids, oils, pastes or seeds, as well as liquids and gums. They are also called condiments and flavours.

Spice up your meals with a variety of spices. Many spices can be added for additional flavor and excitement.

A few drops of hot sauce can make a soup taste better. Or perhaps you could mix a handful of cayenne peppers with a cup of rice.

The best way to experiment with spicing recipes is to use fresh ingredients. Organic herbs are better than dried herbs. Fresh herbs last longer than dried.

Certain spices are essential in cooking. However, you may prefer to avoid some. Cinnamon sticks are high in coumarin so you should avoid them if your liver has been affected. Ginger also contains high amounts of coumarin. However, it is much more concentrated. It is safe for those who have not had liver problems in the past.

What's the Difference Between Cooking With Whole vs. Ground Spices?

There isn't any difference between cooking with whole spices and ground spices. After harvesting, all spices are ground. This ensures that there are no differences in the quality of spices.

However, the price differences are significant. Whole spices cost more because of the labour involved in processing them. However, the flavor is worth it.

Buy whole spices and you'll often receive additional discounts. A whole bag of cinnamon sticks might be eligible for a discount.

The same applies to nutmeg and cloves, ginger or cardamom. These spices can be purchased in bulk to save money.

Whole spices also last longer than ground spices. This is because ground spices lose their potency quickly due to oxidation.

The main reason we recommend whole spices over dried is that they can add lots of flavor to recipes.

Whole turmeric can be used to make delicious curry. Or you can grind whole coriander seeds to create a spice blend for chicken dishes.

Also, grinding spices takes time. It is sensible to purchase large quantities when buying whole spices. So that you don’t run out of spices, it’s a smart move.

How To

How can I store my cooking spices?

Here's how to store your cooking spices for maximum performance. First of all, we need to establish an understanding of the science behind the storage of foodstuffs.

Keep spices out of direct sunlight as light will reduce their flavor. This is due to oxygen combining with organic compounds, such as spices.

To avoid oxidation, spice should be kept in dark cupboards. If these conditions are not met, spices will quickly lose their flavour.

You can preserve the flavor of spices by keeping them in sealed jars, away from direct sunlight.

You can flavor water by adding herbs and spices. Mix two teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 1/2 cup warm water. Stir well. Add a squeeze or lemon juice to the mixture and serve immediately.

Add dried herbs and spices to soups. Place the spice mixture on top of the dish and allow it to rest for 5-10 mins before serving.

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

Fresh herbs and spices can be enjoyed by being chopped or broken up. Also, you can freeze herbs and spice by placing them into ice cube dishes or muffin cups. Once frozen, transfer them to freezer bags and zip-top plastic bag.
