Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between curried and curry?

The spellings are the same. Both words refer to the same thing: an Indian dish combining meat or vegetables with various seasonings.

Curry is derived from the Hindi word kari, which means "to rub". This refers to the way the spice mixture is applied to the food. Curried foods are typically cooked until browned.

While curried dishes were once reserved only for special occasions they are now enjoyed regularly throughout India. They can be made with chicken, beef or lamb and include vegetables as well.

Curried dishes can be served alongside plain white or brown rice. Other common accompaniments include raita (a yogurt sauce) and chutney (a sweet relish).

What are the spices, condiments and seasonings Thailand uses in its dishes?

Thai cuisine is an amalgamation of influences from across Asia. Its roots lie in India and China, along with Southeast Asia.

Freshness, the essential ingredient of Thai cuisine, is key. Fresh ingredients have more flavor when they are picked and prepared 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. are used frequently.

What is the most popular ingredient in Thai cooking?

Thailand's two main ingredients form the heart of all Thai dishes. They are rice and curry. These two elements combine to create a memorable 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.

The same is true of your personal life. You can achieve great success if you combine the right two ingredients - hard work and perseverance.

You can achieve success, just like Khao Pad Krai. Passion and purpose are the key ingredients. Combine them and you will create something truly extraordinary.

If you find yourself craving Thai food, keep in mind that Thai food is more than rice and curry. Try experimenting with other ingredients and see how much fun it can be!

What's the difference in cooking with whole vs. ground spices? Ground Spices?

There is no difference in cooking with whole spices and cooked with ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. This ensures that there are no differences in the quality of spices.

The price difference is however significant. Whole spices are more expensive because of the labor required to process them. But the taste is worth it.

Buy whole spices and you'll often receive additional discounts. You might get a discount if your entire bag is of cinnamon sticks.

The same goes for nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cardamom, etc. These spices can be purchased in bulk to save money.

Ground spices are also more durable than whole spices. Ground spices quickly lose their potency due to oxidation.

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

A delicious curry can be made with whole turmeric as opposed to ground turmeric. For chicken dishes, whole coriander seeds can be ground to make a spice blend.

It takes time to grind spices. It is sensible to purchase large quantities when buying whole spices. So that you don’t run out of spices, it’s a smart move.

Statistics

According to the McCormick Science Institute, indigenous Indian spices were cultivated as early as the 8th century BC in the gardens of Babylon. (spicecravings.com)
It has been estimated that around 1,000 tons of pepper and 1,000 tons of other common spices were imported into Western Europe each year during the Late Middle Ages. (en.wikipedia.org)
According to Healthline, pink Himalayan salt is estimated to contain up to 84 minerals and trace elements, which gives the salt its special pink color. (spicecravings.com)

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

It is easy to make your own at-home recipes! Follow our step-bystep guide below.

Step1 - Prepare Ingredients

Before you start making this recipe, prepare all ingredients.
First, peel and chop shallots (2 cups). Cut galangal root in small pieces, about 3 inches long. Set aside.
Next, you will need to peel and slice the garlic cloves (about 4 cloves). Peel and finely mince lemongrass stems (about 1/2 inch thick).
After that, you will need to crush dried red chili peppers (about four tablespoons) before removing the seeds (optional).
Next, cut the kaffir-lime leaves into thin strips (5 inches). Take out the white part and place it in a bowl.
Once the shrimp paste has been drained, rinse it and then coarsely crush it.
Finally, measure out sugar and salt.

Step2 - Grind Ingredients

Blend all ingredients until smooth
The texture should look similar to peanut-butter.
Note: if you want to reduce the amount of oil in the dish, you can substitute some water for some of the oil.

Step3 - Add Coconut Milk

Mix in coconut milk and stir well.
Add coconut milk slowly so that the paste does not become too sticky.
If you prefer less spicy, add fewer chillies and more galangal root.
If you prefer it spicy, add more chillies or less galangal roots. The final result should taste delicious to you.
