Cardamom flavour enhances both sweet and savoury dishes.
In India, apart from it flavouring desserts such as ice cream (kulfi), rice and meat dishes, it gives tea a characteristic scented taste, while Arab countries use it to flavour coffee.
In Europe, Scandinavia is one of its biggest fans where you’ll find the scent of cardamom lingering in many of their special breads and pastries.
For crushed seeds, simply grind in a pestle & morter for a fresh flavour.
