Cardamom Pods Black (Elaichi) (10g)

Origin: India

Black cardamom is great for typically more bland dishes like lentils.  It elevates lentils and rice dishes in a subtle way without being over the top.  Slightly fry them to release the aromas into your dish and remove before serving.  With a sharp aroma and almost menthol flavour this does well balanced with sweet and spicy additions such as cinnamon, peppercorns or chillies.
