Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between curry and curried?

The spellings are the same. Both terms refer to the exact same thing: An Indian dish that combines meat and vegetables with different seasonings.

Curry comes from Hindi word kari that means "to rub". It refers how spice mixtures are applied to food. Curry foods are usually cooked until golden brown.

Curried dishes weren't always reserved for special occasions. Today, they can be enjoyed throughout India. You can choose from chicken, beef, lamb or fish as well as vegetables and rice.

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

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 is unique and plays an integral role in the creation of delicious dishes.

Cinnamon provides sweetness while black pepper enhances the flavours. Curry powder gets its yellow hue from turmeric and coriander seeds. Cayenne peppers are hot, and cilantro adds freshness. The final touch is cinnamon which gives depth and complexity to any dish.

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

Almond Flour vs. Almond Meal: What's the Difference?

A almond meal is a versatile almond flour alternative that can be used to bake, cook, or even make nut-free dishes.

Almond flour could also contain gluten making it difficult for some people to digest. Gluten-free foods should be avoided if you have celiac Disease or any other digestive condition.

Almond flour isn’t considered a superfood per se but it does contain healthy fats, fibre and protein and no cholesterol.

The almond meal offers many nutritional benefits including iron, magnesium, zinc, manganese (thiamin), calcium, vitamin A, B1 and Vitamin C.

Almond flour is made from almonds and contains monounsaturated fat acids. Almond oil, however, contains polyunsaturated oils. Both types help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels.

Almond flour also contains antioxidants like phenolics and flavonoids. These compounds are effective in preventing oxidative damages caused by free radicals.

A study published by the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry revealed that almond flour had an antioxidant activity equal to that of blueberries.

Almond milk is often sold with almond flour, which has been fortified with additional nutrients.

Thai food can Paprika be used?

Yes. It is an ingredient in many dishes, including Pad See Ew (Thai fried rice), from eggs cooked in coconut milk.

Thai food is a good example of paprika.

Paprika is a product that dates back over 5,000-years to Ancient Greece. The Hungarian language, which means "pepper", is where the word "paprika" came from.

How To

How to choose which spices to buy

To cook, you'll need to know how to choose the right herbs and spices for your recipes. There are many options available, so how do you choose which ones to add in your pantry?

There are three main factors to consider when choosing spices: flavour profile, shelf life, and cost. You can choose to use different flavour profiles depending on whether your cooking involves meat, poultry or fish, vegetables and pasta. Once you have chosen a category, you can narrow down your choices by taking into account these differences.

Shelf lives vary greatly too. Some spices last forever, while others expire quickly. For example, cayenne pepper lasts for years, whereas oregano loses its potency after two months. There's also the cost. Spices are available in a range of prices, from $1 per tablespoon to more expensive than $100 per an ounce. This means you'll need to find a balance between value and quality.

It is also important to decide if you prefer organic ingredients or not. Organic products contain fewer chemicals and pesticides than conventional alternatives, making them better for your health and the environment. These products can also be more costly so make sure to weigh the benefits against the costs.

Online shopping is the best option to find the right spices. Online retailers offer comprehensive information about every product, including price, reviews, ratings, and ingredients.

Once you have narrowed your selection, you are able to place an order directly at the retailer. Once you have received your items safely store them in an airtight container, away from heat & light.
