Step 6Cardamom.
I love, love, love cardamom. It has a sweet, spicy flavor I can't get enough of. It's extremely aromatic - just smelling it is like eating a whole bowl full of your favorite comfort food!
Cardamom comes in two common varieties: black and green. Both can be found ground and in whole pods. I'd say green is more common where I live - I can find nearly anywhere these days!
Most food snobs agree that cardamom is best freshly ground. I am very lazy, though, and I've always used it ground from a can. I have no problems with this! As long as you're buying high quality stuff (try your local ethnic grocer!) you'll be just fine!
Cardamom is everywhere in Indian cooking (especially curries!) and baking all over world. It is also a main component of chai - which is a spiced black tea.
If you'd like to try it in the best way possible, try my ible for kheer! It's a rice pudding. It's also one of the tastiest things in the world.
