Description

Cardamom spice, a spice with a great fragrant and full of flavor, that brings warmth to both sweet and savory dishes. 

In Palestinian cooking, it adds a familiar aroma to Arabic coffee, meat and chicken broths. Whether used as whole pods or ground into a fine powder, a little cardamom goes a long way.


Ingredients

Green Cardamom Pods


Instructions

  • Place the cardamom pods in a spice grinder
  • Pulse until finely ground into a powder.

Notes

  • You may notice small pieces of the pod husks that haven’t fully ground into powder. That’s fine, you can use the mixture as is.
  • Grind in small batches: Whole pods retain their aroma longer than ground cardamom, so grind only a small amount at a time for the freshest flavor.
  • Make sure to clean your grinder before use so leftover coffee or other spices won’t affect the cardamom’s flavor.
