Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference in curry and curried?
The spellings are the same. Both words are used to describe the same thing: Indian dishes that combine meat or vegetables with various seasonings.
Curry derives its name from the Hindi word kari which means "to rub." The spice mixture is then applied to 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 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).
What kind of mint are used in Thai cuisine?
Lime-leaf mint (Mentha cervina) is the most commonly used type of mint in Thai cuisine.
It is mild and lemony in flavour, which adds freshness as well as zing to dishes. Thai dishes are enhanced with other spices, such as galangal and coriander.
Mint is versatile and can be used both in sweet and savoury recipes. You can create authentic Thai flavours by choosing the right herbs, spices, and aromatics.
Next time you make Thai food, add some lime-leafmint for more flavor!
Happy cooking!
Can you add spice to a beverage?
I love spices adding flavour to food. How do you make spices alive in drinks?
Spices are wonderful because they can add depth and flavor to any beverage. You can add a little cinnamon or nutmeg to any glass of wine, beer or coffee.
But most recipes call for ground spices, meaning you'll need fresh whole spices. It makes sense but is time-consuming and expensive.
That's where the magic happens. With a little creativity, you can make your favorite spices easy to use in powdered form. To make tasty spiced drinks, you can combine them with your favourite beverages.
There are two ways to go about creating these powders. One way is to grind whole spices into fine powder. Another way is to grind the spices in a mortar and pestle.
Whatever method you choose to use, you will find that powders are much easier than whole spices. The powder is stable so you don't run low on stock.
You can experiment with mixing spices to create different flavours. Peppermint and spearmint can be combined to make minty water. Ginger and cardamom pods can be used to make spicy ginger Tea.
Once you've mastered making powdered spices, you can apply the same technique to herbs. You can use basil, rosemary and thyme as common herbs.
The possibilities are limitless. Powdered spices are a great way to make your drinks more flavorful or to enhance dishes like soups and salads.
What Thai spice will I need to make Thai food home?
Five essential spices are required to create authentic Thai cuisine at home. These include black pepper, turmeric, coriander seed, coriander and cinnamon. Each ingredient has its own unique flavour profile, and each plays an important role in creating delicious dishes.
Black pepper adds savoury flavours, while cinnamon adds sweetness. Coriander seeds provide a spicy kick and turmeric gives curry powder the yellow color it is known for. Cayenne peppers bring the heat while cilantro adds freshness. A final ingredient is cinnamon, which adds depth and complexity.
Each of these spices is available in your local grocery. If you'd rather buy them online, the following are our recommendations.
What's the importance of spices in your life?
A spice is an ingredient that adds flavor to food. Spices can be powdered, liquids or oils. They can also be called condiments or flavours.
Spice up your meals with a variety of spices. Many spices can be added for additional flavor and excitement.
Perhaps a little hot pepper sauce will enhance the flavor of your soup. Mixing a couple of cayenne peppers in a cup rice can make it even more delicious.
Fresh ingredients are the best option to spice up your recipes. When you are buying dried herbs, make sure they are organic. Fresh herbs can last for longer than dried.
Certain spices are essential in cooking. However, you may prefer to avoid some. Cinnamon sticks contain high amounts of coumarin, so they should not be eaten if you have a history of liver disease. Ginger also contains some coumarin but it is less concentrated. People who do not have any liver problems are safe.

How To
How to choose which spices to buy
Cooking requires you to learn how to choose the right herbs for your recipes. There are many choices. So where do you start?
There are three main factors to consider when choosing spices: flavour profile, shelf life, and cost. There are many flavour profiles that can be used depending on how you cook meat, poultry, fish and vegetables as well as beans, grains, pastas, eggs, bread, cakes, and other foods. Once you've settled on a category, it's time to narrow down your choices.
Shelf lives vary greatly too. Some spices are good for a lifetime, while others can be lost quickly. Cayenne pepper, for example, can last years while oregano, on the other hand, loses its potency within two months. The price is another factor. Prices for spices range from $1 per teaspoon to more than $100 an ounce. This means that spice prices can vary widely.
Also, you will need to choose whether organic or non-organic ingredients are more appealing. Organic products have fewer pesticides and chemicals that conventional products, which is better for your health as well as the environment. But they can often be more expensive so make sure you weigh the benefits against their costs.
The best way to get the perfect spices for your home is to shop online. Online retailers offer detailed information about each product, including reviews, pricing, ratings, and ingredient lists.
Once you've narrowed down the list, it's possible to order directly from the retailer. After you have received your items, keep them safe in an airtight container away from heat or light.
