But they didn\u2019t actually arrive in the country until the 16th century. If you like things hot, then one to try is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tilda.com\/blog\/ingredient-guide\/a-guide-to-chilli-peppers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Bhut Jolokia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">, also known as \u2018ghost pepper\u2019. One of the hottest chillies in the world it has a slow-burning heat, which doesn\u2019t kick in for about 30 seconds. If you can handle it, these chillies do offer an intense fruity, sweet flavour, making them the perfect ingredient for tomato chilli recipes and (very) hot spicy soups. The Kashmiri chilli is used widely in Indian households. It&#8217;s renowned for the vibrant deep red colour it adds to dishes and is also a lot less spicy compared to other Indian chillies.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Rice\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Rice is a key part of Indian cuisine. So if you want Indian food to feature heavily in your weekly meals, make sure you have a bag or two of basmati in your cupboard. Available in white and wholegrain, it\u2019s fluffy, fragrant, and the perfect side dish for a curry or dal. And it\u2019s also one of the key ingredients in a biryani \u2013 a delicious meal that will definitely fill you up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Canned and dried goods<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><strong>Beans and lentils &#8211;<\/strong> <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">A number of Indian foods are made with lentils. From kichidi (simple rice and lentils) to soups and flatbreads. You can\u2019t visit India without seeing dal (daal, dail or dahl) on a menu. It\u2019s a staple at almost every Indian meal \u2013 a vegetarian side dish made of yellow or red lentils and spices. Mung beans are also widely used for both sweet and savoury dishes and can be eaten whole, sprouted or split. You\u2019ll find them in curries and they also pair beautifully with paneer cheese. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><strong>Flavour boosters &#8211; <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Many Indian recipes use ghee (clarified butter) at the start or end or cooking. It\u2019s commonly used for frying, roasting or sauteing vegetables or meats, as a topping for roti (flatbread) and can also be melted over steamed vegetables to add flavour instead of using olive oil. Chutneys (particularly Mango, Green and Tamarind)\u00a0 are also frequently used in Indian cuisine \u2013 sweet, spicy, chunky or smooth, you\u2019ll find them dolloped on wraps, served with samosas, and with sim<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">ple roasted meats, like pork and chicken. Raita is another classic Indian side. A creamy, cooling yoghurt, it\u2019s often used to top fiery curries or as a dip for poppadoms, and it only takes five minutes to make using plain yoghurt, cucumber, spices and a pinch of salt. Jaggery (palm sugar) is the main sweetener in Indian cooking, used in desserts, added to soups and to provide balance in savoury stews and spiced sauces.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Flour <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><strong>\u2013<\/strong> If you want to try making your own naan, make sure you buy a bag of chapati flour.

And you can never go wrong with having aromatic sage, flat-leaf parsley, or the classic Italian seasoning rosemary in your cupboard. Great for meat, vegan and vegetarian dishes alike! Thyme is one of the main herbs used in Italian cooking. With a subtle minty flavour and sweet but strong scent, it\u2019s the perfect addition to stews, meat and roast potatoes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Rice and pasta\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Rice and pasta are simple staples, but when you think of these two favourite carbohydrates in the context of Italy, you can\u2019t help your mind wander to creamy rich risotto, tomato sauces and aromats, which feature in some of the most delicious Mediterranean dishes like lasagne, tagliatella al rag\u00f9, pasta al pomodoro and classic risotto Milanese. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Keeping a bag of dried shells, like tagliatelle or spaghetti, is a cost-cutting and quick way to make a midweek meal.

You\u2019ll find it in salad dressings, dips and stir-fries, but go easy \u2013 sesame oil can quickly become overpowering if you use too much.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Flour <\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Cornflour (or cornstarch) is commonly used for thickening stir-fries and braises, and getting extra-crispy coatings on your spring rolls. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><strong>Flavour boosters <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><strong>&#8211;<\/strong> Dried mushrooms are a must for your store cupboard if you want to master Chinese cuisine. They add umami flavour, texture and richness to almost any dish, including soups, stir-fries and braised dishes. And a little goes a long way, so if stored correctly in an airtight container, they\u2019ll last for months, if not longer.<\/span><\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n        \n                            \n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"content-section content-section--top-mask content-section-- u-contrast-text--\">\n    <div class=\"free-content container container--small\">\n                    <div class=\"free-content__content user-content\">\n                <h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Thai<\/b><b>\u00a0Cupboard Essentials<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Thai cuisine is renowned for its unique and distinct flavours. If you stock your kitchen cupboard with just a handful of different items, you\u2019ll be able to cook a wide variety of authentic Thai dishes at home, from scratch.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Spices and seasoning\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>The dry<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><strong> &#8211;<\/strong> <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Cumin seeds, white peppercorn, coriander seeds and turmeric powder are all must-haves if you\u2019re looking to master Thai cuisine. White peppercorns are great for seasoning and garnishing many dishes. Coriander seeds are used to add some spice to curry pastes and meat marinades. While turmeric\u2019s distinct smell and bright yellow hue makes it very popular for adding colour to curries and other Indian inspired dishes like Satay and Massaman curry. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><strong>The fresh<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><strong>\u00a0 &#8211;<\/strong> <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Garlic, shallots and ginger are widely used in Thai cuisine to enhance the flavour of dishes and give them a little kick. Fresh <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tilda.com\/blog\/ingredient-guide\/a-guide-to-galangal\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">galangal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">, a peppery spice closely related to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tilda.com\/blog\/ingredient-guide\/a-guide-to-ginger\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">ginger<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"> and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">turmeric powder<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">, is one of the most popular spices in Thai cooking. It\u2019s often pounded or ground into a paste for curries, stir-fries and soups using a mortar and pestle. And it\u2019s also used in cocktails, including the Thai Gin Sour.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Herbs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">To make your Thai dishes extra flavoursome, it\u2019s worth stocking a few essential herbs, like lemongrass (a key ingredient in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tilda.com\/how-to\/how-to-make-thai-curry-paste\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Thai curry paste<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">) and Thai basil.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Chilli peppers<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Thailand is known for its spicy food, so it\u2019s no wonder chilli peppers feature heavily. The most commonly used are Bird\u2019s Eye chilli peppers (also known as Prig Kee Nu), <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">which are often dried and ground, and used as a condiment in nearly all Thai households. They\u2019re also added to salads, stir-fries, curries, soups, sauces and marinades. Don\u2019t be fooled by their size \u2013 Bird\u2019s Eye chilli peppers may be small, but they pack a real punch, which is why it\u2019s recommended you handle them with gloves. It\u2019s also worth having a handful of red chillies to hand, which are often scattered liberally on the majority of Thai dishes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11879\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tilda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/shutterstock_516012940.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"418\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Rice and noodles<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Both fresh and dried noodles feature heavily in Thai cuisine for noodle soups and the famous Pad Thai. There are a number of different varieties to choose from, but the wider types are typically used for stir-fries, while thinner types, often called vermicelli rice noodles, are popular in many soup dishes. You\u2019ll also need two types of rice for Thai cooking: sticky rice and Jasmine rice. Sticky (or sweet rice) works well with Thai red curries, green curries and stir-fries. While Jasmine rice is used in biryanis and to infuse a slightly perfumed flavour into dishes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Bottles and sauces<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Like Chinese cuisine stir-fries and noodles heavily feature soy sauce and oyster sauce. And fish sauce (Nam Pla), has a well-earned place in nearly every Thai household. Containing only anchovies, salt and water, it\u2019s used to season a variety of dishes including salads, curries, soups, stir-fries, tomato sauces and marinades. Rice vinegar, with its refreshing, tart flavour is also used for adding sourness to dressings, rice and salads. And it\u2019s also worth buying a bottle of Sriracha, a sweet spicy sauce that&#8217;s commonly used as a dip, particularly for seafood and spring rolls. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><strong>Flavour boosters <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">&#8211; Coconut milk is great for adding creamy texture and balances the heat in Thai curries and soups. While coconut cream is popular for desserts. Both are available to buy as cartons or cans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Flour and starches<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Rice flour (ground from long-grain rice), glutinous rice flour (ground from sticky rice) and tapioca starch are most commonly used as thickeners in Thai cooking. So it\u2019s good to have a couple of bags in the cupboard.\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"content-section content-section--top-mask content-section--turquoise\">\n        \n    <div class=\"image-with-text container container--small\">\n                    <div class=\"image-with-text__content\">\n                <h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Indonesian<\/b><b> Cupboard Essentials<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">You\u2019ll find the ingredients in Indonesian cooking similar to Indian and Thai. But to make sure you\u2019re covered, here are some key items to make sure you have in your store cupboard.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Spices and seasoning\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Turmeric, cumin, cinnamon and coriander are some of the most used spices in Indonesian cooking, to add flavour and heat.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Herbs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Lemongrass and galangal are often used whole in a variety of slow-cooked dishes during cooking, but always removed before serving.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Nuts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Peanuts (known as kacang) are used liberally in Indonesian cooking to add texture, and are the main ingredient in peanut sauces to accompany rice dishes. They\u2019re also added to salads and served as a side.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Chillies<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">If you\u2019re going to make Sambal, you\u2019re going to need chillies. It\u2019s a chilli sauce with dried-shrimp paste and is one of the most popular condiments in Indonesian cuisine for vegetables, chicken and fish, and it can also be added to soups, noodles, stews, rice, and even eggs. There are around 300 different varieties of Sambal, ranging from mild to very hot.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Rice and noodles<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Rice features heavily in Indonesian cuisine, so make sure you have a bag of basmati or Jasmine rice in the cupboard. And if you\u2019re stocking up on noodles, egg noodles are your best bet.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Bottles and sauces<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">If you want to stock up on a bottle of two, light soy sauce is frequently used as a seasoning and dark as a dipping sauce in Indonesian cuisine. Fish sauce is also used to give savoury dishes an umami flavour. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><strong>Flavour boosters &#8211; <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Indonesian palm sugar tastes of molasses and caramel, and like Jaggery (the Indian equivalent), it\u2019s used to make desserts and balance flavour in savoury dishes. There are two types: gula jawa (Javanese sugar) and gula merah (red sugar). Coconut milk is also widely used to make pastes and sauces, and features heavily in a number of meat dishes and curries. You\u2019ll also find it in popular sweets like bubur pulot hitam, a black sticky rice dessert that\u2019s incredibly rich and creamy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Flour<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Indonesians use a number of different flours for making desserts and savoury doughs, but like in Thai cuisine, the most commonly used is rice flour. It\u2019s used to make the popular snack, rempeyek (or peyek for short), a delicious deep-fried Indonesian cracker.<\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n        \n                            \n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"content-section content-section--top-mask content-section-- u-contrast-text--\">\n    <div class=\"free-content container container--small\">\n                    <div class=\"free-content__content user-content\">\n                <h3><b>A culinary adventure<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">While this is just a selection of the incredible cuisines to explore, your adventure starts with you!
