Native to the Eastern Himalayan regions, Black Cardamom is a large brown pod containing highly aromatic seeds. Unlike green pods this cardamom is rarely used in deserts and sweet dishes. It is a staple spice used in African, Indian and Middle Eastern cooking. It has a unique smoky flavor and is used in Basmati rice and stew type dishes. Black cardamom should be used sparingly due to its intense and rich flavor.

Culinary Uses:

- Black cardamom is also used in preparing garam masala, which is commonly used to flavour Indian curries, snacks and rice preparations too.
- The large pods are used in whole form or maybe slightly pounded to flatten it before adding to the dosh to expose the seeds inside.
- Throw in whole cardamom in warm oil to temper the spice and release the aromatic oils from the pod.
- You can also add whole pods for slow cooking stews or in liquid broth to infuse the dish with a delicate smoky aroma.
- It goes well in rice puddings, cakes, ginger fig chutney, payasam etc.
