The definition of sweet chili sauce is a sauce made with chili peppers and sugar or honey. A lot of garlic added will give a delicious garlicky kick.

It is very quick and absolutely easy to make.

In Asian cuisine, sweet chili sauce has a tangy taste cause it has vinegar in it. We use it in almost every meal we have in Asia, commonly in Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, and neighboring countries.

Curry is my regular meal. In Indonesia, we have so many kinds of curry based on the spices and herbs used also base on the protein we use. Start from seafood, poultries, eggs, beef until vegan version.

And today I will share a curry paste recipe from Indonesian neighbor country, Thailand. Indonesian food and Thailand food have many similarities. We use many varieties of spices and herbs and we love our food spicy.

Curry paste is one of my staple, anytime I want to make something it's ready anytime in my pantry. You can check many other homemade things I made here and here.

I always try to get as fresh ingredients as I can so I can get the authentic version that I am looking for. But if you can't find the fresh spice/ herb you can use the powder version.

I stir fry my curry paste to have a longer time to keep and it is just like a store-bought one. 

If you don't want to stir fry your paste, you can skip adding vegetable oil and keep the fresh (uncooked) paste in the freezer.

Even written in our history that many western countries occupied Indonesia after Christopher Columbus "discovered" one island (Maluku island) in Indonesia and found that the island had has many herbs and spices like ginger, nutmeg, peppercorns, and cloves. Since then, Vanco da Gama came from Lisbon, Portugal followed by Cornelis de Houtman came from Netherlands. Far away they sailed to found and dominate Indonesian spices which the value as high as gold at that time.

That was a marking point at which the "trade revolution" began in Europe. 

"Traders became conquerors. Asian-African nations were colonized and this opened the door to the era of Imperialism. Java was occupied in the 16th century, Maluku in the 17th century and gradually the Netherlands took control of our islands successively. "--said 1st president Soekarno in his book.

Biryani is a mixed rice dish, its origins among the Muslims of India. It can be compared to mixing a curry, later combining it with semi-cooked rice separately. 

This dish is especially popular throughout the Indian subcontinent, as well as among its diaspora. It is made with Indian spices, rice, and meat (chicken, beef, lamb, prawn, or fish), and sometimes, in addition, eggs and/or potatoes in certain regional varieties. 

The word 'biryani' is derived from a Persian word, birian, which means 'fried before cooking'. It is a popular dish that has acquired a niche for itself in South Asian cuisine. The dish has spread across a wide swath of South Asia, reaching as far west as Iraq and as far east as Indonesia.

Ingredients vary according to the region and the type of meat and vegetables used. Meat (of either chicken, goat, beef, lamb, prawn, or fish) is the prime ingredient with rice. As is common in dishes of the Indian subcontinent, vegetables are sometimes also used when preparing biryani. Corn may be used depending on the season and availability. 

The spices and condiments used in biryani may include ghee (clarified butter), nutmeg, mace, pepper, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, bay leaves, coriander, mint leaves, ginger, onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and garlic. The premium varieties include saffron. 

In all biryanis, the main ingredient that accompanies the spices is the chicken or goat meat; special varieties might use beef or seafood instead. The dish may be served with dahi (curd) chutney or raita, korma, curry, a sour dish of aubergine, boiled egg, and salad.

MY TURKISH SPICE MIX ( BAHARAT KARIŞIMI )

Selam everybody.....Merhaba from Turkiye.


In general, Turkish food varies from region to region. Every region has it’s own characteristic soil and climate. Therefore, all the different varieties of products that are grown in every region effect the food culture within each region.

The cooking of Istanbul, Bursa, Izmir, and rest of the Aegean region inherits many elements of Ottoman court cuisine, with a lighter use of spices, a preference for rice over bulgur, koftes and a wider availability of vegetable stews, eggplant, stuffed dolmas and fish. The cuisine of the Black Sea Region uses fish extensively, especially the Black Sea anchovy (hamsi) and includes maize dishes. The cuisine of the southeast (e.g. Urfa, Gaziantep, and Adana) is famous for its variety of kebabs, mezes and dough-based desserts such as baklava, şöbiyet, kadayıf, and künefe.

Selam everybody...Merhaba from Turkey...

Did you hear about Hawaij spice before? Hawaij (spelled hawayej) is a Yemeni spices mixtures. There are two type of hawaij, both derived from the Yemenite kitchen: one is meant for soup, the other for black coffee. Spice mixture for soup are also used in stews, rice, vegetarian dishes and as barbecue spices rubbed into the meat. Basically this kind of Hawaij consists of cumin, black pepper, turmeric and cardamom. More intricate versions may also contain cloves, nutmeg, saffron, coriander and dried onions.

The mixture for coffee is made from anise seeds, fennel seeds, ginger and cardamom. Although it is primarily used in brewing coffee, it is also used in desserts, cakes and slow-cooked meat dishes. In Aden, the mixture is made with ginger, cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon for black coffee, and when used for tea excludes the ginger

This spice came to Israel along with immigrants from Yemen, and it is widespread among yemenites in Israel. 

Basically, hawaij made by roasting – coriander seeds, cumin seeds, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, whole black peppercorns  until aromatic and made into a powder. Very few and very basic spices are used for making the dish.
