23 Cardamom Recipes From 17 Cuisines.

Green cardamom is floral, camphorous and expensive, and it works in both directions: Scandinavian buns and Indian sweets on one side, biryani and Arabic coffee on the other. Black cardamom is a different spice entirely, smoky and heavy, meant for long-cooked savory dishes. Bruise whole pods and add them to the fat early, or grind the inner seeds fresh. Pre-ground cardamom is a pale imitation and goes stale faster than almost any other spice.
