Frequently Asked Questions

What mint is used in Thai food?

Thai cuisine has the most widespread use of lime-leaf mint (Mentha certvina).

It adds freshness to dishes with its mild, lemony flavor. Other spices such as lemongrass, galangal, garlic and coriander are also frequently added to enhance the flavour of Thai dishes.

Mint can be used in sweet or savoury dishes. For authentic Thai flavours, you must use the right spices and herbs.

next time you make a Thai dish, don't forget to include some lime-leaf mint for extra flavour!

Happy cooking!

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

There is no difference between cooking whole spices and with ground spices. After harvesting, spices are ground. It doesn't make a difference in terms of quality.

But the price gap is significant. Whole spices are more expensive due to the labour required for processing them. But the taste is worth it.

When you buy bulk spices, you may get 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. This can help you save money on spices if you buy them in bulk.

Whole spices also last longer than ground spices. Because ground spices lose potency quickly from oxidation, this is why whole spices last longer than ground spices.

But the main reason why we recommend purchasing whole spices is that they add a lot of character to recipes.

You can make a delicious curry by using whole turmeric in place of ground turmeric. For chicken dishes, whole coriander seeds can be ground to make a spice blend.

Additionally, spices need to be ground. It is sensible to purchase large quantities when buying whole spices. So you don't run short of spices.

What are the seven Indian spices?

Indian spices include a range of spices that are used to make Indian cuisine. They usually include cardamom (also known by hing), cumin, turmeric, coriander,fenugreek, ginger, and asafoetida. Spices add flavour to dishes by blending natural ingredients like meats, vegetables and spices. The unique flavour profiles created by spices are what make Indian cooking special.

Cardamom's sweet, pungent flavor is balanced with ginger and citrus notes. It's used in many dishes, including biryani and curries. Cumin has an earthy aroma and a rich, nutty flavour. It is often added in to curries, dals, or meat dishes. Coriander gives dishes a mild nuttiness due to its sweet citrus aroma. It is often used to season vegetables and lentils.

Turmeric is a spice that has an earthy flavor. It can be mixed with mustard, spices and pepper hints. This spice is popularly used in curries as well as other dishes. Fenugreek possesses a rich, earthy scent, slightly bitter flavour, and earthy tone tones. It is often used as a seasoning for meat dishes like kebabs. Ginger is spicy and pungent, with hints citrus. It is a perfect addition to curries, soups, and chutneys. Asafoetida (hing) has a pungent smell and strong flavor that substitutes onion and garlic in some recipes.

These spices produce unique flavors, which make Indian cooking distinctive.

How To

How to choose which spices to buy

It is important to know how you can choose the right spices and herbs to cook. There are hundreds of options, so where do you begin when deciding which ones to add to your pantry?

Three factors are important to consider when choosing spices. They are the taste profile, shelf live, and price. You can choose to use different flavour profiles depending on whether your cooking involves meat, poultry or fish, vegetables and pasta. Once you have chosen a category, you can narrow down your choices by taking into account these differences.

The shelf life of spices can also vary. Some spices can last forever while others go bad quickly. Cayenne pepper can last for many years, while oregano only loses its potency in two months. Then there's the price. Spices can cost anywhere from $1 per tablespoon up to $100 per ounce. This means you'll need to find a balance between value and quality.

Also, you will need to choose whether organic or non-organic ingredients are more appealing. Organic products contain fewer chemicals and pesticides than conventional alternatives, making them better for your health and the environment. However, they often cost more, so you'll need to weigh those costs against the benefits.

Shopping online is the best way to ensure you pick the right spices for your kitchen. Online retailers provide extensive information about each product including reviews, prices, ratings and ratings.

Once you've narrowed down the list, it's possible to order directly from the retailer. Once you receive your items, store them safely in airtight containers away from heat and light.
