What are the 11 Indian spice blends?
The eleven spices of Indian cuisine are coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, mustard seeds, nigella seeds, black pepper, cloves, cinnamon sticks, dry red chili powder, turmeric, and cardamom.
These ingredients can be found in almost all dishes. 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.

What's the difference between curried and curry?
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 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.
While curried dishes were once reserved only for special occasions they are now enjoyed regularly throughout 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).
Is Paprika used in Thai food?
Yes. It is an ingredient in many dishes, including Pad See Ew (Thai fried rice), from eggs cooked in coconut milk.
Thai, Mexican, Spanish, Indian and Chinese cuisines include paprika.
Paprika dates back more than 5,000 years to Ancient Greece. The Hungarian language "pepper" is the origin of "paprika".
What is the Thai use for mint?
Thai cuisine uses the most popular type of mint, the lime-leaf (Mentha cevina).
It has a mild, citrusy flavour that gives dishes a freshness and zing. Thai dishes are enhanced with other spices, such as galangal and coriander.
Mint is a versatile herb that can be used in both sweet as well as savoury meals. For authentic Thai flavours, you must use the right spices and herbs.
Make a Thai dish next time and add some lime-leaf mint to give it extra flavor.
Happy cooking!

How To
How to cut Shiitake Mushrooms
So the shiitakes have been doing well. There is nothing wrong with them. But how do they be cut? We've tried everything. Even the scissors. We keep losing them. Is there something wrong?
The trick is simple. Place a rubber band on the stem of the mushroom and twist it tight. This will ensure that you don't fall and break your wrists.
It may sound too simple. It is. It's also extremely effective.
The rubber band makes the stem slippery, so it feels natural when you pick it up. The stem can be held securely.
Now, go ahead and try it. You'll be amazed how easy it is to cut mushrooms.
