Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference in curry and curried?
There is no difference in spelling. Both words refer to the same thing: an Indian dish combining meat or vegetables with various 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 is typically prepared until the food is golden brown.
Although curried dishes used to be reserved for special occasions, today they are enjoyed all over India. They can include chicken, beef, lamb, fish, vegetables, and rice.
Plain white rice is often served with curried dishes. The most common accompaniments are raita (a yogurt paste) and chutney.
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 help keep them fresh and prevent any deterioration due to oxidation.
Keep spices away from direct sunlight in a dry, cool place. A heater or window can cause the spice to lose its aroma and flavour.
Spices are best stored in an airtight glass jar or tin. Avoid storing spices in plastic containers.
After opening the seal, make sure to inspect it again. Humidity can cause spoilage.
If you have leftover spices, don't throw them away. Make sure to use leftover spices in other recipes. They can be frozen to prolong their shelf-life.
