Yup, but I forgot to add a pic of this!


What are you looking for you ask?

That there is CARDAMOM! I FOUND CARDAMOM! I NOW HAVE CARDAMOM! CAN YOU SEE IT? ISN'T IT LOVELY?

Okay so as you know I have never tried, seen or tasted this stuff. But it all the rage so I finally scored some. Any suggestions what I should use it in????

Okay...that is all.

    cardamom is an excellent spice .. throw a pinch in your sweet dish or even in tea/coffee and it tastes good! Hope this helps :)

    yes like kankana says it is wonderful with tea and sweets also use a little bit 1 or 2 whole or ground to flavour savouries and meat dishes. The whole cardamom 1 or 2 can be put when making rice to give a nice aroma and before serving discard.
    thank you for the comment :)

    I loved your excited post about cardamom!

    Now I don't feel like a complete idiot for going nutty over a unique ingredient I find at the store :-)

    I know cardamom is used in curries, teas, sweets and is used for medicinal purposes.

    Cardamom. Yummy! I made a Smoked Salmon Cardamom Spread that won a Culinary Smackdown Battle. Give it a look if you're interested. http://imapretendchef.blogspot.com/2011/01/smoked-salmon-cardamom-spread.html

    Mona- Thanks so much for coming by.

    Ellen- Thank you. I love yours as well.

    Emily- Lol, thanks. I got so excited over that and my vanilla beans. Like a kid in a candy store. Honestly I cannot find cool stuff where I live so when I find something I go loopy. I practically skipped out of the store yesterday.

    Rochelle- That is some incredible spread. I went over to look at the smackdown site. Pic had me in stitches.

    Plus I make a lot of using whole cardamom but have no posts of it yet- its quite a thing in Indian cooking!

    My husband loves to chew on it after a meal- its cleanses his breath- he lovessss cardamom!
