    "It doesn't need to be 20 different spices, it doesn't need to be 30 different spices. It's about how you treat them." I know this is video is specifically about curry but that is a genuine lesson for when it comes to flavoring any dish. A wonderful tidbit of kitchen wisdom. May your soul find peace sir, and condolences to all you touched.

    • @Daphoid
      @Daphoid 3 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      100% True. I think this applies to any ingredient, not just spice. Take a simple soup that asks for onions. Raw vs Caramelized, different types of onions, can change the flavor of the soup.

    • @sundarpichai940
      @sundarpichai940 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Does anyone know what spices were actually used in the mahkani in the video? From what I saw in the video (and from listening to the audio) it's tomatoes, ginger, garlic, turmeric, black peppercorn, cumin, chili powder, salt, then butter and cream. That's about 6-10 spices less than what a typical mahkani has. I'm really curious if anyone has tried this because if it works, the abbreviated ingredients list and steps would make this a weeknight-possible dish.

    • @rapipanmanoch6470
      @rapipanmanoch6470 3 ปีที่แล้ว +108

      In Thailand, curry’s direct translation is แกง (gang), which means the type of food that is a cross of the soup or the stew, where the fluid is thick from the spice paste. If the soup is thin or clear, it’s called ต้ม (tom = boiled) instead. And consider that Thai food shared a lot of characteristics with Indian food, I would say the meaning is probably similar.

    I loved when Floyd was talking the regional differences of curry for me it brings to mind the regional differences of pasta for Italian Cuisine and BBQ for American Cuisine, just to name a few examples. Cookery has a strange effect of bringing us all together as humans but allowing us to express uniqueness. While we enjoy different foods because of what is local and what we can shipped, ultimately we all enjoy food and we all want to change and adapt things to meet our wants/needs.
