Frequently Asked Questions
How to Store Your Spices?
Keep them in an airtight, dry container away from heat or light.
If you want to keep spices fresh for a long time, place them into a dark cupboard. This will keep the spices fresh and prevent any oxidation.
Keep spices away from direct sunlight in a dry, cool place. You can lose the aroma and flavor of your spice if it is near a heater or window.
Spices can be best kept in an airtight container or tin. If storing in plastic containers, make sure there is no moisture inside the container.
As humidity can cause mold growth, it is important to check the seal before opening or resealing.
Don't throw out any spice leftovers. Instead, use them up by adding them to other dishes. To extend their shelf life, you can freeze them.
What's the Difference Between Cooking With Whole vs. Ground Spices?
There are no significant differences in the cooking of whole and ground spices. After harvesting, spices are ground. There is no quality difference.
However, the price difference is substantial. Whole spices are more expensive because of the labor required to process them. But the flavour is worth it.
Bulk purchases of whole spices can often get you additional discounts. An example: If you buy an entire bag full of cinnamon sticks, you might get a discount.
This is true for cloves, ginger and cardamom. You might be able to save money by buying these spices in bulk.
Whole spices can also last longer than the ground spices. Ground spices lose their potency very quickly due to oxidation.
We recommend buying whole spices because they add flavor to your recipes.
You can make delicious curry using whole turmeric, instead of ground turmeric. For chicken dishes, whole coriander seeds can be ground to make a spice blend.
Additionally, spices need to be ground. It makes sense to purchase large quantities of whole spices when you are buying them. That way, you won't run out of spices too fast.
What's the difference of curry and curried
It doesn't matter how the spelling is written. Both words mean the same thing: Indian cuisine that includes meat and vegetables mixed with different seasonings.
Curry is derived in Hindi from kari, which means to rub. This refers the way that the spice mix is applied onto the food. Curry is typically prepared until the food is golden brown.
Curried dishes weren't always reserved for special occasions. Today, they can be enjoyed throughout India. These dishes can be chicken, beef (lamb), fish, or vegetables.
Plain white rice is often served with curried dishes. You can also add raita (a yogurt sauce), or chutney (a sweet relish).

How To
How To Make A Garlic Press?
A garlic press is one of the most valuable tools in any home cook's arsenal. This allows you to quickly mince garlic and make smooth sauces, soups, and salad dressings. It is great for crushing whole garlic cloves in a buttery spread, or garlic salt.
If you don't yet have a garlic presse, you may be wondering where to get one. We have some tips to help get you started.
First, you need a large dish. Place the bowl below the press and pour in the crushed garlic. Set the pressure regulator valve at the maximum setting.
Next, turn the handle clockwise until you hear a click. The top end of the press should lift and reveal a flat area that allows you to slide your blade back and forth across the bowl. Continue turning the handle counterclockwise until the blades close.
Finally, remove the pressed garlic and enjoy!
Here are some more ways to use this versatile instrument:
- Garlic mince can be added to soups or sauces, salads or dips.
- To crush whole garlic cloves, use the press to create a buttery spread
- Place whole garlic cloves in a pizza dough and crush them before baking
- Make roasted garlic mashed potatoes, or creamy polenta.
- Use the press to mash garlic into homemade pesto
- Puree garlic and make a smooth dressing
