Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common spices, condiments and seasonings that Thais use in their cuisine?
Thai cuisine is a mix of Asian influences. Its roots lie in India and China, along with Southeast Asia.
The essential ingredient of Thai food is freshness. Fresh ingredients have more flavor when they are picked and prepared quickly. This is why meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts, seeds, and grains are often eaten raw and served hot.
Spices and sauces give dishes depth and color. 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 ingredients are common.
What's the difference of curry and curried
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 Hindi word kari that means "to rub". It refers how spice mixtures are applied to food. Curried foods are typically cooked until browned.
While curried dishes were once reserved only for special occasions they are now enjoyed regularly throughout India. These dishes can be chicken, beef (lamb), fish, or vegetables.
Plain white rice is usually served with curried dishes. A raita (a yogurt-based sauce) or a chutney is another common accompaniment.
What are the seven Indian spices?
Indian spices are a collection of spices used in Indian cuisine. They include coriander and turmeric as well as cardamom, cumin and coriander. This spice blends natural ingredients to create flavour and aroma. Combining spices creates unique flavour profiles that make Indian food so special.
Cardamom has an earthy, sweet flavor with notes of ginger and citrus. It is often used to flavour curries and rice dishes like biryani. Cumin is a spice with an earthy smell and a rich, nuanced flavour. It is used to spice up curries, dals and meat dishes. Coriander has a sweet citrus aroma and adds a subtle nuttiness to dishes. It is often used in seasoning vegetables and lentils.
Turmeric has an earthy, spicy flavour that includes mustard, spices and pepper hints. 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 often used to season meat dishes like kebabs and curries. Ginger is spicy, pungent, and has hints of citrus. It adds a spicy kick to dishes like soups and chutneys. Asafoetida (hing), has a strong flavor and pungent smell that can be used in place of onion and garlic in certain recipes.
These spices together create unique flavors that make Indian food so special.
What is the value of spices?
A spice is a seasoning that is used to enhance the flavor of food. Spices come in various forms, such as powders, liquids, gums, oils, pastes, and seeds. They are also known as condiments and flavours.
You can spice up meals to make them more interesting. You can spice up dishes with many different spices for more flavor and excitement.
It may be that adding a few drops to your bowl of soup makes it more flavorful. You could also add a few cayenne peppers to a cup of rice.
Fresh ingredients are best for experimenting with spicing. Organic herbs are better than dried herbs. Fresh herbs are more durable than dried herbs.
Although some spices are essential to cooking, there are others that you might prefer not to use. Cinnamon sticks have high levels of coumarin. They should not be consumed if you have had liver disease in the past. Although ginger also contains coumarin it is much less concentrated. People who do not have any liver problems are safe.
Can you put spice in a drink?
I love the way spices add flavour to food. But how can you make them live when they're used in drinks.
Spices can bring out the best of any beverage. You can add a little cinnamon or nutmeg to any glass of wine, beer or coffee.
But most recipes call for ground spices, meaning you'll need fresh whole spices. This makes sense, but it is expensive, takes time, and requires storage space.
Here is where the magic happens. With your creativity, you can turn your favorite spices into easy-to-use powdered products. Then you can mix them into your favourite beverages to create delicious spiced drinks.
There are two ways to go about creating these powders. One method involves grinding whole spices to a fine powder. One method involves using a mortar-and-pestle to grind spices into a finer consistency.
You'll find it easier to make powder than whole spices, regardless of the method. You won't run short of powder, and it keeps well.
Mixing different spices can create new flavors. For example, you could combine peppermint and spearmint leaves to make minty water. 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.
There are many options. You can use powdered spice to enhance the flavour of your drinks or dishes like soups, salads, or pasta.

How To
How do you store your cooking spices?
This article will show you how to store cooking spice for optimal performance. First of all, we need to establish an understanding of the science behind the storage of foodstuffs.
Because spice's flavour is diminished by light exposure, it should be stored in airtight containers. This is due to oxidation which occurs when oxygen combines with organic compounds such as those found in spices.
To avoid oxidation, spices must be kept in dark cupboards. If these conditions are not met, spices will quickly lose their flavour.
Keep spices fresh by storing them in airtight jars out of direct sunlight.
You can add herbs and spices to water to make a flavoured drink. For example, mix two teaspoons of ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of warm water and stir well. Add a squeezed lemon juice and serve immediately.
Add dried herbs and spices to soups. 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.
Fresh herbs and spices can be enjoyed by being chopped or broken up. It is also possible to freeze herbs and spices in muffin cups or ice cube trays. Once frozen, transfer to freezer bags or zip-top plastic bags.
