There is no difference in cooking with whole spices and cooked with ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. The quality is the same.

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.

Whole spices can also last longer than the ground spices. Ground spices quickly lose their potency due to oxidation.

A delicious curry can be made with whole turmeric as opposed to ground turmeric. Or you can grind whole coriander seeds to create a spice blend for chicken dishes.

What's the difference of curry and curried

There is no difference in spelling. Both words mean the same thing: Indian cuisine that includes meat and vegetables mixed 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.

Curried dishes are no longer reserved for special occasions. They're now commonplace in India. These dishes can be chicken, beef (lamb), fish, or vegetables.

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