What's the difference in cooking with whole vs. 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. The quality is the same.

However, this price differential is quite significant. Whole spices are more expensive because of the labor required to process them. However, the flavor is worth it.

Bulk purchases of whole spices can often get you additional discounts. For example, you might receive a discount if you buy an entire bag of cinnamon sticks.

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 quickly lose their potency due to oxidation.

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. Or you can grind whole coriander seeds to create a spice blend for chicken dishes.

Grinding spices takes 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 are the best Thai spices to use?

The best Thai spices include lemongrass, galangal, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and ginger. The best spices are clove, cardamom. black peppercorn. fennel seeds. star anise.

Rose petals and bay leaves, pandan leafs, curry leaves, pandan leave, kaffir lemon leaves, vanilla beans. Tamarind pods, lemongrass, basil, mint are other useful spices.

Can you spice up 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 are excellent because they add incredible depth to any beverage. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to your favorite beverage, such as coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.

Most recipes require ground spices. You will need to use fresh whole spices. Although this is logical, it can be costly, time-consuming, and takes up storage space.

That's where the magic happens. With a little creativity, you can make your favorite spices easy to use in powdered form. To make tasty spiced drinks, you can combine them with your favourite beverages.

There are two possible ways to create these powders. One method involves grinding whole spices to a fine powder. A mortar and pestle is another method to grind the spices to a finer consistency.

Whichever method you choose, you'll find that the resulting powder is much easier to measure out and store than whole spices. Plus, the powder keeps well so that you won't run out of stock.

You can experiment with mixing spices to create different flavours. For minty water you could mix spearmint with peppermint leaves. You can also make spicy ginger-ginger tea by combining ginger and cardamom seeds.

Once you've learned how to make powdered spices from scratch, you can apply the same process to herbs. Some of the most common herbs are basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano and sage.

There are so many possibilities. You can use powdered spice to enhance the flavour of your drinks or dishes like soups, salads, or pasta.

One of the most widely used condiments in Southeast Asia is curry paste. Curry paste adds a distinctive flavour to many dishes such as curries and soups, stir fries, stir-fries or rice dishes.

It's very simple to make this at home. Follow our step by step guide below.

Step1 - Prepare Ingredients

• Before you start this recipe, make sure that all ingredients are prepared.
• Peel and chop shallots (about two cups). Next, chop galangal root into small pieces (3 inches in length) and place aside.
• Next, cut four garlic cloves into pieces. Lemongrass stems about 1/2 inch thick should be removed and finely chopped.
• Then, crush dried red chilli peppers (about four tablespoons) and remove the seeds (optional).
• Cut the kaffirlime leaves into small strips, approximately 5 inches in length. The white part of your stem should be removed and put aside.
• After that, wash and drain shrimp paste (about 6 ounces), then coarsely mash it.
• Last, take out the salt and sugar.

Step2 - Grind Ingredients

• Mix all ingredients until well combined.

Step3 - Add Coconut Milk
