Frequently Asked Questions
What are the 11 Indian spices used in Indian cooking
Indian cuisine is made up of eleven spices: coriander seeds; cumin seeds; fennel and mustard seeds; nigella and black pepper; cloves, cinnamon sticks; dry red chili powder; turmeric and cardamom.
These ingredients can be found used in almost every recipe. These spices are used in almost every dish, including curries, curries, chutneys (pickles), rice, bread and sweets.
Health benefits can also be attained from spices. Turmeric, for example, is known to fight cancer cells. Bad breath is prevented by cloves. Black pepper lowers 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 make your own blends of spices or buy ready-made mixes containing many essential spices.
Some people are against adding spices to their food. They believe spices mask natural flavors and do not improve them. A pinch of salt or pepper will not harm your dishes.
Most chefs agree that spices are a vital part of culinary art. Without them, many dishes would be bland and tasteless. Next time you feel inspired, try a new recipe.
How to Store Spices
They should be kept out of direct sunlight and heat in an airtight container.
Place them in a dark cupboard to store spices for extended periods. This will preserve them and prevent any oxidation.
Store your spices in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. A heater or window can cause the spice to lose its aroma and flavour.
Spices work best in an airtight jar or tin. Avoid storing spices in plastic containers.
Always check the seal after opening and resealing, as humidity can cause spoilage.
Do not throw away any spices that you have left over. You can make use of them by adding them to your favorite dishes. For an extended shelf life, you can freeze the vegetables.
What is Thai cooking's most famous ingredient?
Thailand has two main ingredients that make up the heart and soul of all dishes: rice, curry, and steamed vegetables. These two ingredients combine to produce a unique flavor.
Thais call this combination "Khao pad Krai," which translates to "the best dish." This is because the two basic foods can be combined to create something truly delicious and irresistible.
This is true for all aspects of life. Combining hard work and perseverance can lead to great success.
As Khao Pad Krai did, passion and purpose can be combined to make you successful. You'll create something amazing if you combine them.
Remember that Thai food doesn't just require rice and curry. Next time you feel the urge to eat Thai food, think about how much more it can be than just rice. Try experimenting with other ingredients and see how much fun it can be!
What are the best Thai spices to use?
Galangal and coriander are some of the best Thai spices. The best spices are clove, cardamom. black peppercorn. fennel seeds. star anise.
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.

How To
How do you decide which spices to purchase?
You need to be able to select the right herbs and spices to use in your cooking. There are many choices. So where do you start?
When choosing spices, there are three things you should consider: the 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've settled on a category, it's time to narrow down your choices.
The shelf life of spices can also vary. Some spices can last forever while others go bad quickly. For example, cayenne pepper lasts for years, whereas oregano loses its potency after two months. Then there's the price. Spices can range anywhere from $1 per tablespoon to more than $100 per ounce. This means you have to strike the right balance between quality and cost.
It's also important to determine if organic or nonorganic ingredients you prefer. Organic products are less chemically and pesticide-laden than other alternatives. They are better for your environment and health. These products can also be more costly so make sure to weigh the benefits against the costs.
The best way to get the perfect spices for your home is to shop online. Online retailers provide detailed information on each product, including ingredient lists, pricing, reviews, and ratings.
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.
