Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between curried curry and curried curry?

There is no difference in spelling. Both words refer the same thing: Indian food that uses meats and vegetables along with different seasonings.

Curry comes from the Hindi word kari meaning "to rub." This term refers to how the spice mixture is rubbed onto the food. Curried foods are generally cooked until they become golden.

Curried dishes weren't always reserved for special occasions. Today, they can be enjoyed throughout India. They can be made with chicken, beef or lamb and include vegetables as well.

Plain white rice is commonly served with curried meals. A raita (a yogurt-based sauce) or a chutney is another common accompaniment.

What are the ten most popular spices?

Spices can be used in food and drink flavoring. Some of these are more common than others. But there are hundreds of varieties of spices out there. Let's now take a look at some of the most well-known spices to find out why they are so beloved.

Spices are vital in cooking as they add flavor and aroma without adding calories. Essential vitamins and minerals are found in many spices, which can help maintain a healthy body.

Here are the ten best-selling spices.

1. Cinnamon – This spice has been shown to lower cholesterol and improve digestion. It can also help to prevent the flu.
2. Garlic - This spice boosts immunity and fights infections. It can also help lower blood pressure by aiding digestion.
3. Oregano-This spice can boost energy and increase athletic performance. It helps to fight infection and improve memory.
4. Black Pepper – This spice is high in antioxidants, and has anti-inflammatory capabilities. It also helps reduce stress and heart disease.
5. Basil -Basil has vitamin K, iron, calcium, as well as iron. It also helps fight cancer cells and boosts metabolism.
6. Vinegar and salt - They make a great combination. Both vinegar and salt are effective against viruses and bacteria.
7. Cloves- Clove oil - This natural remedy is great for sore throats, toothaches, and even sore throats. It helps to ease muscle spasms.
8. Ginger – Ginger has been proved to relieve nausea and morning vomiting during pregnancy. It is also known to clear congestion.
9. Curry Powder - Curries are a classic from ancient times. They were initially made with coconut milk, but we now use different oils or ghee bases.
10. Turmeric - This spice is one of the oldest medicinal herbs.

So next time you want to add flavour to your meals, try using one of these ten popular spices instead of salt. You might be surprised by what happens!

What are the most common spices, condiments and seasonings that Thais use in their cuisine?

Thai cuisine is an amalgamation of influences from across Asia. Its roots are in India and China as well as 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 meats and fish, as well as vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and grains, are often eaten raw and served warm.

Sauces and spices add depth and flavor 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 commonly used.

What are the most delicious Thai spices?

Galangal and coriander are some of the best Thai spices. Other good spices include clove, cardamom and black peppercorn as well as cloves, star anise and cloves.

Rose petals, bay, pandan leaves (curry leaves), curry leaves; pandan leaves; kaffir lime leaf leaves; vanilla beans; tamarind pods; lemon grass, basil, and mine are some other valuable spices.

Which Thai spice do I need to cook Thai food at home?

To make authentic Thai food at home, you'll need to master five essential spices: black pepper, cayenne, coriander seeds, turmeric, and cinnamon. Each ingredient has its own unique flavour profile, and each plays an important role in creating delicious dishes.

Cinnamon adds sweetness, while black pepper brings out savoury flavours. Coriander seeds give curry powder its distinctive yellow colour, while turmeric adds a spicy kick. Cayenne peppers heat up the dish, while cilantro adds flavor and 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 difference between cooking Whole and Ground Spices? Ground Spices?

There are no differences between cooking with whole spices or ground spices. After harvesting, spices are ground. So there is no difference in quality.

However, this price differential is quite significant. Because of the labor involved in making whole spices, they cost more. The flavor is well worth the effort.

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.

The same is true for nutmeg cloves ginger, cardamom, and ginger. These spices can be purchased in bulk to save money.

Ground spices don't last as long as whole spices. Ground spices lose their potency very quickly due to oxidation.

However, the main reason we recommend whole spices is because they add character to recipes.

You can make a delicious curry by using whole turmeric in place of ground turmeric. For chicken dishes, whole coriander seeds can be ground to make a spice blend.

The process of grinding spices takes a lot of time. It is sensible to purchase large quantities when buying whole spices. So you don't run short of spices.

What are the 11 spices of Indian cooking?

Coriander seeds and cumin seeds are the eleven main spices in Indian cuisine.

These ingredients are used in almost every dish. These spices add a unique flavor to dishes like curries, chutneys and pickles, rice, bread, and desserts.

The health benefits of spices can be found in their medicinal properties. Turmeric, for example, is known to fight cancer cells. Bad breath can be prevented with cloves. Black pepper decreases cholesterol. Cinnamon lowers blood pressure. And ginger aids digestion.

A spice rack makes a great kitchen tool. It allows you to experiment with many different combinations of flavours. You can mix your own spices or purchase ready-made spice mixes that include many essential spices.

Some people do not like to add spices to their food. They believe spices only mask natural flavor and do little to enhance them. A pinch of salt and pepper can enhance the flavor of your food.

Most chefs agree that spices are an essential part of cooking art. Without spices, many dishes are bland and tasteless. Try a new recipe next time you feel adventurous.

Statistics

How To

How to cut Shiitake Mushrooms

The shiitakes seem to be doing well. There is nothing wrong with them. They are fine. But how can we make them cut without hurting ourselves? We've tried everything, even scissors. They keep falling out of our hands. What's the matter?

The trick is simple. Put a rubber band around your mushroom stem and twist it tight. You won't slip or cut yourself.

You may be thinking that this seems too easy. It is. But it's also very effective.

The rubber band makes your stem slippery and it feels very natural when you pick it it up. Plus, it doesn't hurt to hold the stem tightly.

Do it! You'll be amazed at how much easier it is to cut mushrooms now.
