Frequently Asked Questions

What are the common condiments, spices and seasonings they use in their Thai dishes?

Thai cuisine is an amalgamation of influences from across Asia. It is rooted in India and China along with Southeast Asia.

Freshness is the main ingredient in Thai cuisine. You get more flavor if ingredients are picked in the early stages of cooking and then cooked quickly. This is why meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts, seeds, and grains are often eaten raw and served hot.

Spices and sauces add complexity and fragrance to dishes. Fresh basil, cilantro, mint, coriander (cilantro), lemongrass, ginger, turmeric, garlic, chillies, chilli paste, soy sauce, tamarind juice, oyster sauce, palm sugar, coconut milk, lime leaves, galangal root, curry powder, shrimp paste, fish sauce, tamarind water, rice vinegar, etc. These ingredients are common.


Thai food includes paprika.

Yes. Yes.

Paprika is found in Thai food and Mexican, Italian, Spanish, Indian, Chinese, French, Moroccan, Middle Eastern, Lebanese, Greek, Turkish, and Balkan cuisines.

Paprika can be traced back over 5,000 years ago to Ancient Greece. The word "paprika" comes from the Hungarian language meaning "pepper. "


What's the difference of curry and curried

There is no difference in spelling. Both terms refer to the exact same thing: An Indian dish that combines meat and vegetables 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. Curried foods are generally cooked until they become golden.

Although curried dishes used to be reserved for special occasions, today they are enjoyed all over India. They can be made with chicken, beef or lamb and include vegetables as well.

Plain white rice is often served with curried dishes. You can also add raita (a yogurt sauce), or chutney (a sweet relish).


How do I make Thai food at home using Thai spices?

In order to cook authentic Thai food at home you will need five spices: black pepper (cayenne), coriander seeds (coriander seeds), turmeric and cinnamon. Each ingredient is unique and plays an integral role in the creation of delicious dishes.

Cinnamon brings out the sweetness of black pepper, while white pepper enhances the savoury flavours. Curry powder gets its yellow hue from turmeric and coriander seeds. Cayenne peppers bring the heat while cilantro adds freshness. Finally, cinnamon adds depth and complexity to any dish.

You can find each of these spices at your local grocery store, but if you'd instead buy them online, here are our recommendations for where to shop.


What Spices or Herbs Are Best for Potatoes

A potato can be a side dish for any type of meat. You might have been cooking potatoes for a while and know that there are other ways to prepare them.

These versatile veggies can be used as a side dish in many dishes. But did you know that numerous spices and herbs go well with potatoes?

These tasty recipes will make your potato recipe even more delicious


What spices are used to make Thai cuisine?

Thai cuisine is known for its complex flavour combinations. These flavors are created from unique, flavorful spices which create delicious dishes.

Common ingredients used in Thai cooking include lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, chillies, garlic, shrimp paste, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and more.

Each spice adds to Thai cuisine's distinct flavour profile. Lemongrass is often used in soups, curries, and stews; galangal adds a slight peppery note to dishes; kaffir lime leaves impart a citrusy aroma; chillies provide a spicy kick; garlic adds a sharp and pungent flavour to dishes; shrimp paste adds an umami depth to food; coriander has a mild, yet fragrant aroma; cumin brings a smoky note to dishes; and turmeric gives food a vibrant yellow hue.

These spices create complex flavour profiles that are unique to Thai cuisine. Mixing spices together can make dishes both tasty and aromatic. These spices will help you bring Thailand's flavours to your kitchen.


Can you add spice into a drink

I love how spices bring flavour to food. But how do you make spices liven up when they are added to drinks?

Spices add a wonderful depth to any beverage. There's nothing better than adding cinnamon or nutmeg in your glass of wine or beer, whether it's coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or cocktails.

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.

This is where magic happens. With a little creativity, you can make your favorite spices easy to use in powdered form. These spices can be mixed into favorite beverages to create tasty spiced drinks.

Two ways can you make powders. One way is to grind whole spices into fine powder. One method involves using a mortar-and-pestle to grind spices into a finer consistency.

No matter which method you use, the powder will be much easier to measure 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. Ginger and cardamom pods can be used to make spicy ginger Tea.

Once you are skilled in the production of powdered spices, it is possible to apply that technique to herbs. You can use basil, rosemary and thyme as common herbs.

The possibilities are limitless. Powdered spices can be used to add flavour to beverages or enhance the flavor of dishes like soups, salads and pasta.

How To

How do you decide which spices to purchase?

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?

When selecting spices, you need to be aware of three key factors: cost, shelf life, flavour, and cost. The flavour profiles of different types of food can vary depending on whether they are used to cook meat, fish or vegetables, as well as pasta, eggs and bread. You'll need to narrow your choices once you've chosen a category.

There are many factors that affect shelf life. Some spices can last forever while others go bad quickly. For example, cayenne pepper is good for years and oregano lasts only two months. Also, the price. Spices can cost anywhere from $1 per tablespoon up to $100 per ounce. This means you have to strike the right balance between quality and cost.

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. They can be more expensive, so it's important to weigh the costs and the benefits.

Online shopping is the best option to find the right spices. Online retailers offer comprehensive information about every product, including price, reviews, ratings, and ingredients.

Once you have narrowed your selection, you are able to place an order directly at the retailer. Once you have received your items safely store them in an airtight container, away from heat & light.
