Description
Black Cardamom has a strong, smoky flavour. It is dried over open fire for a long time which gives it a very strong, pungent woody aroma that distinguishes it from other spices.
Black cardamom is a popular Indian spice, called badi elaichi or kali elaichi that is used in many of the cuisine’s signature dishes.
It is in the form of seed pods, which are dark brown to black in colour and take on a smoky flavour due to the way they are dried.
Black cardamom may help in various digestive disorders and also helps in fighting stomach ulcers.
Black cardamom pods can be used in soups, chowders, casseroles and marinades for a smoky flavor. It also goes well in rice puddings, cakes, ginger fig chutney, payasam etc. Black cardamom is also used in preparing garam masala, which is commonly used to flavour Indian curries, snacks and rice preparations too.
