Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference in curry and curried?

There is no difference in spelling. Both words are used to describe the same thing: Indian dishes that combine meat or vegetables with various 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.

While curried dishes were once reserved only for special occasions they are now enjoyed regularly throughout India. They can include chicken, beef, lamb, fish, vegetables, and rice.

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

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

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 a unique flavor profile and plays an essential role in creating delicious dishes.

Cinnamon brings out the sweetness of black pepper, while white pepper enhances the savoury flavours. Coriander seeds add a spicy kick, while turmeric gives curry powder its signature yellow colour. Cayenne peppers bring the heat while cilantro adds freshness. Finally, cinnamon can add depth and complexity in any dish.

Each of these spices is available in your local grocery. If you'd rather buy them online, the following are our recommendations.

What Spices or Herbs Are Best for Potatoes

These versatile vegetables are delicious additions to any meal, from salads to casseroles to soups to pasta dishes. But did you know that numerous spices and herbs go well with potatoes?

Spice up your following potato recipe with these delicious recipes.

Can you put spice in a drink?

I love the way spices add flavour to food. How can you make spices come to life when they are used in drinks?

Spices are wonderful because they can add depth and flavor to any beverage. A dash of cinnamon and nutmeg can make any beverage more delicious, including coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and cocktails.

Most recipes require ground spices. You will need to use fresh whole spices. While this makes sense, it is costly, takes time and requires storage space.

That's where the magic happens. You can transform your favourite spices into an easy-to-use powdered form with ingenuity. Then you can mix them into your favourite beverages to create delicious spiced drinks.

These powders can be made in two ways. The first involves the grinding of whole spices to make fine powder. A mortar and pestle is another method to grind the spices to a finer consistency.

No matter which method you use, the powder will be much easier to measure and store than whole spices. The powder is stable so you don't run low on stock.

Mixing spices can be fun to create new flavors. For example, you could combine peppermint and spearmint leaves to make minty water. You can also make spicy ginger-ginger tea by combining ginger and cardamom seeds.

Once you are proficient in making powdered spice, you can also apply this technique to herbs. Some popular herbs include basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, and sage.

There are many options. Powdered spices can be used to add flavour to beverages or enhance the flavor of dishes like soups, salads and pasta.

What are the 11 spices of Indian cooking?

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

These ingredients can be found used in almost every recipe. These spices impart a distinct flavor to dishes such as curries (lentils), curries and chutneys. They also add a unique taste to rice, bread, and sweets.

Health benefits can also be attained from spices. One example is turmeric, which helps fight cancer cells. Cloves protect against bad breath. Black pepper lowers cholesterol. Cinnamon lowers blood pressure. And ginger aids digestion.

A spice rack is a fantastic kitchen tool that allows you experiment with different combinations. You can make your own blends of spices or buy ready-made mixes containing many essential spices.

Some people prefer not to add any spices to their food. They believe that spices only mask natural flavors and do nothing to improve them. However, adding a pinch of salt or pepper is no harm in enhancing the flavor of your meals.

Most chefs agree spices are essential to culinary art. Many dishes would lack flavor and be boring without them. So next time you're feeling adventurous, why not try a new recipe and see what happens?

What purpose is Thai spice used?

The term Thai spice is a common phrase that we've heard a lot, but don't really know what it means. When we taste it, our mouths water and we wonder why we aren't eating more.

But it isn't just any old spice. It's an ingredient that can add flavor and depth in dishes that otherwise would be bland.

Many recipes call for Thai spice, but only a few have the actual thing. So let's help you figure out how to ensure you're adding these delicious flavors to your meals.

Thais have been using spices and herbs to flavor food and drinks since ancient times. Thai, which means "to make", comes from the Sanskrit word.

Most Thais like spicy food, even today. This preference can be attributed to Thailand’s hot weather. It is difficult to stay warm when you don't have something to drink. Thais also consume more chili peppers per capita than Americans and Europeans.

You can learn the most about Thai spices by visiting a local Asian grocery. There are many options available, including dried chilies as well as fresh basil leaves and curry paste.

Whole peppercorns, whole cloves, cinnamon sticks and star anise may also be found.

There are two types of spices in Thai cuisine: dry and wet. Dry spices are generally ground, while wet spices can be crushed or pounded finely.

Dry spices are usually added to a dish. For example, ground red pepper is sprinkled onto chicken soup. Wet spices are commonly mixed with oil or butter to form a paste.

Wet spices are usually used in marinades, sauces, and dressings. Common wet spices include oyster sauce, fish sauce and sesame oils, curry paste, hoisin sauce, and sesame seed oil.

If you want to try making Thai dishes at home, you need to know which spices go well with certain ingredients.

For example, red pepper flakes is recommended for beef. If you use seafood like shrimp, you should use white pepper instead.

If you don’t have access or the means to order from an Asian market, it is possible to order online. Here you will find everything, from dried chilies and exotic herbs to spices.

So next time you get hungry, think about putting on a little extra heat by whipping up one of these tasty Thai recipes!

How To

How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms?

The shiitakes grow well. You can't go wrong with them. However, how do you cut them without cutting yourself? We have tried every method, including using scissors. But they just keep slipping from our hands. Is there something wrong?

There's a trick to that. Use a rubber band to secure the stem of your mushroom. You won't slip or cut yourself.

You might think that it seems too simple. It is. But it's also very powerful.

The rubber band makes your stem slippery and it feels very natural when you pick it it up. It doesn't hurt to keep the stem in place.

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