Frequently Asked Questions

What are the seven Indian spices?

Indian spices are a group of spices used in Indian food. They are usually made up of cardamoms, cumins, corianders, turmeric and fenugreek. This spice blends natural ingredients to create flavour and aroma. The unique flavour profiles created by spices are what make Indian cooking special.

Cardamom has an earthy, sweet flavor with notes of ginger and citrus. It is used to flavour curries, rice dishes such biryani, and other Asian cuisines. Cumin has an earthy, rich aroma and a nutty flavor. It's often used in curries, dals, and meat dishes. Coriander adds a delicate nuttiness and sweet citrus aroma to dishes. It is used often 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 has an earthy aroma, a slight bitter flavor, and earthy tones. It is often used to season meat dishes like kebabs and curries. It is spicy and pungent with citrus hints. 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.

What is the difference between cooking with whole spices and using ground spices? Ground Spices?

There is no difference in cooking with whole spices and cooked with ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. So there is no difference in quality.

However, the price differences are significant. Because of the labor involved in making whole spices, they cost more. However, the flavor is worth it.

If you purchase whole spices in bulk, you might get an additional discount. If you buy a whole bag of cinnamon sticks, you may get a discount.

It is the same for cardamom and cloves as well as ginger, ginger, nutmeg, and ginger. These spices can be purchased in bulk to save money.

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

Whole spices are a great way to add personality and flavor to your recipe.

For instance, you can make a delicious curry with whole turmeric instead of ground turmeric. For chicken dishes, whole coriander seeds can be ground to make a spice blend.

Also, grinding spices takes time. When you buy whole spices, it makes sense to buy a large quantity. So you don't run short of spices.

What Thai spice should I use to cook Thai food in my own kitchen?

For authentic Thai cooking at home, you need to be familiar with five essential spices: cayenne, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and black pepper. Each ingredient has a unique flavor profile and plays an essential role in creating delicious dishes.

Black pepper adds savoury flavours, while cinnamon adds sweetness. Coriander seeds give curry powder its distinctive yellow colour, while turmeric adds a spicy kick. Cayenne peppers are hot, and cilantro adds freshness. A final ingredient is cinnamon, which adds depth and complexity.

Each of these spices can be found at your local grocery, but you may prefer to buy them online.

What is the most recognizable ingredient in Thai food?

Two main ingredients are the heart of Thai cuisine: curry and rice. These two essential elements come together to create an unforgettable flavor.

In Thailand, we call this combination "Khao Pad Krai," which means 'the best dish.' This is because when these two basic foods are combined into a single dish, they become incredibly delicious and irresistible.

This is true for all aspects of life. The right combination of perseverance and hard work can bring you great success.

The right ingredients can make you successful, like Khao Pad Krai: passion and purpose. Combining them will produce something special.

You should remember that Thai food requires more than curry and rice to create memorable meals. You'll be amazed at how much fun you can have experimenting with different ingredients!

What uses is Thai spice?

We all have heard the term Thai spices, but we don't understand what it really means. When we taste it, our mouths water and we wonder why we aren't eating more.

It isn't just any spice. It is an important ingredient that gives flavor and depth to bland dishes.

Although there are many recipes that call for Thai spices in large numbers, very few recipes actually use the true thing. Let's learn how to include these delicious flavors in your meals.

Thais have been cooking with herbs, spices and other flavors since ancient times. Thai is the Sanskrit word that means "to cook".

Most Thais like spicy food, even today. This preference can often be attributed to Thailand's hot weather, which makes it hard to stay warm without hot beverages. Additionally, Thais consume much more chili peppers than Europeans or Americans.

You can learn the most about Thai spices by visiting a local Asian grocery. You'll find many ingredients there, including fresh basil leaves, dried chilies and curry paste.

You might also find whole peppercorns and cloves as well as cinnamon sticks, star anise pods (star anise), cardamom pods ginger root, cumin seeds coriander seeds seeds, fennel seed, nutmeg mace, mustard seeds, saffron threads garlic, onion, rice vinegar, and tamarind juice.

Thai cuisine uses both dry and wet spices. Wet spices are ground finely, while dry spices are typically ground.

Dry spices are typically added directly to a dish. A good example is chicken soup with ground red pepper. Mixing wet spices with oil or butter can create a paste.

Wet spices are used in dressings, sauces and marinades. Wet spices are used in many dishes, including fish sauce, oyster, sesame, sesame, sesame oil and curry paste.

If you want to try making Thai dishes at home, you need to know which spices go well with certain ingredients.

Red pepper flakes can be used to season beef. If you use seafood like shrimp, you should use white pepper instead.

If you don’t have access or the means to order from an Asian market, it is possible to order online. Here you will find everything, from dried chilies and exotic herbs to spices.

How To

How do you store your cooking spices?

I'll show you how to store spices properly for best results. First, we must understand how food is stored.

Because light can diminish the flavour of spices, they should be kept in sealed containers. This is due to oxidation which occurs when oxygen combines with organic compounds such as those found in spices.

To prevent oxidation of spices, keep them in dark cupboards. Spice tends to lose its flavour quickly if these conditions aren't met.

You can preserve the flavor of spices by keeping them in sealed jars, away from direct sunlight.

You can add herbs and spices to water to make a flavoured drink. For example, you could mix 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon in 1/2 cup of warm milk and stir it well. Serve immediately by adding a squeeze lemon juice.

Dry herbs and spices can also be used in soups, stews or casseroles. Place the spice mixture on top of the dish and allow it to rest for 5-10 mins before serving.

You can add leftover cooked vegetables, fruits, meats and shellfish to your favorite recipes as snacks.

Fresh herbs and spices can be enjoyed by being chopped or broken up. You can also freeze spices and herbs by placing them in muffin cups or ice trays and freezing them. Once frozen, transfer to freezer bags or zip-top plastic bags.
