Frequently Asked Questions
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 are usually made up of cardamoms, cumins, corianders, turmeric and fenugreek. The spices are used to enhance the flavour and aroma of foods by combining and complementing natural ingredients, such as meats or vegetables. These spices combine to create distinctive flavour profiles which are the hallmark of Indian cooking.
Cardamom's sweet, pungent flavor is balanced with ginger and citrus notes. It's used in many dishes, including biryani and curries. Cumin is a spice with an earthy smell and a rich, nuanced flavour. It is often added to dals, curries, and meat dishes. Coriander is sweet and citrusy, adding a hint of nuttiness to dishes. It is used often to season vegetables and lentils.
Turmeric has an earthy, spicy flavour that includes mustard, spices and pepper hints. This spice is commonly used in curries and other dishes and has a golden hue. Fenugreek's aroma is rich and has earthy tones. It is commonly used to season meat dishes, such as kebabs and curry. Ginger is pungent and spicy with hints of citrus. It adds a spicy kick to dishes like soups and chutneys. Asafoetida is a spice that has strong flavors and a pungent smell.
These spices are a unique combination that creates Indian cuisine.
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 derives its name from the Hindi word kari which means "to rub." The spice mixture is then applied to 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 include chicken, beef and lamb as well as fish, vegetables and rice.
Plain white rice is usually served with curried dishes. Other common accompaniments include raita (a yogurt sauce) and chutney (a sweet relish).
Does Thai food have cumin in it?
Cumin is one of the most commonly used spices in Thai cuisine. Cumin is often combined with garlic, ginger, coriander, and other spices to produce various flavours that characterize many Thai dishes.
Some popular uses for cumin in Thai cooking include stir-fries, curries, soups and salads. Cumin is also often added to marinades, dressings, and sauces. Although cumin is the main ingredient in Thai food, there are other spices that can be used.
Fish sauce, garlic and ginger are all great additions to this mix. You can create Thai-inspired signature dishes by combining spices in different proportions.
Cumin is essential to Thai cooking. It's often used in Thai traditional dishes. This spice gives Thai food a distinct and complex flavor. Cumin adds its distinct spices to many popular dishes, making it an essential part of Thai cuisine.
The unique flavors of Thai cuisine can be captured by chefs adding spices like cumin to their meals. Answer: Yes, cumin is a crucial component in many Thai classic dishes.
What's the Difference Between Cooking With Whole vs. 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. The quality is the same.
However, the price difference is substantial. Whole spices cost more because of the labour involved in processing them. But the flavour is well worth it.
Bulk purchases of whole spices can often get you additional discounts. If you buy a whole bag of cinnamon sticks, you may get a discount.
The same goes for nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cardamom, etc. These spices can be purchased in bulk to save money.
Ground spices don't last as long as 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.
It takes time to grind spices. When you buy whole spices, it makes sense to buy a large quantity. This will ensure that you don't run out of spices quickly.
Does Thai use ginger?
The answer is yes. In traditional Thai cuisine, ginger is used extensively. It is often added to stir-fries and soups and is also commonly used in desserts and drinks such as lassis.
Ginger is native to China, Japan, and Korea, and its origins date back more than 5,000 years. It is thought that it originated in Southeast Asia, where its medicinal uses were cultivated.
Ginger has been shown to reduce nausea and stimulate digestion. It may even help prevent migraines. Ginger is also known to reduce muscle spasms and joint pains as well as treating arthritis.
Ginger is often eaten fresh in Thailand. Ginger root is first cut into thin strips before drying and stored. From Asian markets, ginger root can be bought in cans and jars.
Can you put spice in a drink?
I love how spices add flavor to food. How do you make spices alive in drinks?
Spices can bring out the best of 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. This makes sense, but it is expensive, takes time, and requires storage space.
Here's 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 methods to make these powders. One method involves grinding whole spices into fine powder. Another method is to use a mortar & pestle to grind the spices until they are finely ground.
Whatever method you choose to use, you will find that powders are much easier than whole spices. Plus, the powder keeps well so that you won't run out of stock.
You can also experiment with different spices to create new flavor combinations. For example, you could combine peppermint and spearmint leaves to make minty water. Ginger and cardamom pods can be used to make spicy ginger Tea.
Once you've learned how to make powdered spices from scratch, you can apply the same process to herbs. You can use basil, rosemary and thyme as common herbs.
The possibilities are limitless. You can use powdered spice to enhance the flavour of your drinks or dishes like soups, salads, or pasta.
What kind of mint is used to make Thai food?
Thai cuisine has the most widespread use of lime-leaf mint (Mentha certvina).
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 a versatile herb and can be used in both sweet and savoury recipes. For authentic Thai flavours, you must use the right spices and herbs.
Next time you make Thai food, add some lime-leafmint for more flavor!
Enjoy your cooking!

How To
How to choose the right spices?
It is important to know how you can choose the right spices and herbs to cook. There are hundreds of choices, so where can you start when choosing which spices to add to your kitchen?
When selecting spices, you need to be aware of three key factors: cost, shelf life, flavour, and cost. There are many flavour profiles that can be used depending on how you cook meat, poultry, fish and vegetables as well as beans, grains, pastas, eggs, bread, cakes, and other foods. Once you've settled on a category, it's time to narrow down your choices.
Also, shelf lives can vary widely. Some spices keep forever, while some others are prone to deterioration quickly. Cayenne pepper, for example, can last years while oregano, on the other hand, loses its potency within two months. Also, the price. Spices can cost anywhere from $1 per tablespoon up to $100 per ounce. This means that you will need to strike a balance between quality and value.
It's also important to determine if organic or nonorganic ingredients you prefer. Organic products are less chemically and pesticide-laden than other alternatives. They are better for your environment and health. However, they often cost more, so you'll need to weigh those costs against the benefits.
The best way to get the perfect spices for your home is to shop online. Online retailers provide extensive information about each product including reviews, prices, ratings and ratings.
Once you have narrowed your selection, you are able to place an order directly at the retailer. Once you have received your items safely store them in an airtight container, away from heat & light.
