Whole Black Cardamom Pods - Cardamom is an aromatic spice coming from a plant belonging to the ginger family.
Brown or black 'cardamom', are slightly larger and have a different flavour and aroma. They add a smoky note to cooked foods and are more frequently used with meat than with vegetable dishes. Cardamom is wonderfully aromatic with a warm, spicy-sweet flavour.
You can remove the seeds and grind them or grind the whole pod - ideally with pestle and mortar. If using to flavour dishes such as stews and curries, lightly crush the whole pod and add it to the mixture: the shell can be removed after cooking.
Cardamom also goes really well with chocolate.
