Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between cooking whole and with ground spices? Ground Spices?
There are no significant differences in the cooking of whole and ground spices. All spices can be ground once they have been harvested. It doesn't make a difference in terms of quality.
However, this price differential is quite significant. Whole spices can be more expensive due to the labor involved in their processing. But the flavour is worth it.
You'll often find extra discounts for bulk purchases when you buy whole spices. If you buy a whole bag of cinnamon sticks, you may get a discount.
It is the same for cardamom and cloves as well as ginger, ginger, nutmeg, and ginger. You may be able save money if you buy these spices in bulk.
Ground spices last much longer than whole spices. Ground spices lose their potency rapidly due to oxygenation.
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. You can also grind whole coriander leaves to make a spice mix for chicken dishes.
The process of grinding spices takes a lot of time. If you're buying whole spices it makes sense for you to buy large quantities. So you don't run short of spices.
What Thai spice should I use to cook Thai food in my own kitchen?
You will need to know five key spices in order to make authentic Thai food at your home: cayenne pepper, coriander seeds and turmeric. Each ingredient is unique and plays an integral role in the creation of delicious dishes.
Cinnamon brings out the sweetness of black pepper, while white pepper enhances the savoury flavours. Curry powder gets its yellow hue from turmeric and coriander seeds. Cayenne peppers heat up the dish, while cilantro adds flavor and freshness. Finally, cinnamon adds depth and complexity to any dish.
Each of these spices can be found at your local grocery, but you may prefer to buy them online.
What mint is used for Thai food?
The most common type of mint used in Thai cuisine is lime-leaf mint (Mentha Cervina).
It is mild and lemony in flavour, which adds freshness as well as zing to dishes. 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.
If you're making Thai dishes, be sure to include lime-leaf fresh mint!
Happy cooking!
What is the difference in curry and curried?
It doesn't matter how the spelling is written. Both terms refer to the exact same thing: An Indian dish that combines meat and vegetables 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.
Curried dishes weren't always reserved for special occasions. Today, they can be enjoyed throughout India. They can be made with chicken, beef or lamb and include vegetables as well.
Plain white rice is usually served with curried dishes. The most common accompaniments are raita (a yogurt paste) and chutney.
What is the importance and purpose of spices?
A spice is a seasoning used to enhance flavour in food. Spices can take many forms such as powders (liquids), oils, pastes and seeds. They are also known for their versatility and ability to be used as flavours and condiments.
Spice up your meals with a variety of spices. To add more flavour and excitement to dishes, many spices can be used.
A few drops of hot sauce can make a soup taste better. Perhaps you can add some cayenne peppers to your cup of rice.
You can experiment with spice recipes best if you use fresh ingredients. When you are buying dried herbs, make sure they are organic. Fresh herbs are more durable than dried herbs.
There are certain spices that are essential for cooking. But there are also some you might want to avoid. If you have a history or liver disease, cinnamon sticks can be dangerous. Ginger also contains some coumarin but it is less concentrated. People who do not have any liver problems are safe.

How To
How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms?
The shiitakes grow well. There's nothing wrong about them. They are fine. But how can we make them cut without hurting ourselves? We have tried everything, even using scissors. But they just keep slipping from our hands. Is there something wrong?
The trick is simple. You must put a rubber band around the mushroom's stem and twist it tight. You won't slip or cut yourself.
This may seem too simple. Well, it is. But it's also very useful.
The rubber band makes stems slippery, making them feel more natural when picked up. The stem can be held securely.
Do it! It's so easy to chop mushrooms now.
