Buying Guide

Cardamom grades explained

Green cardamom is graded mainly by the diameter of the pod, measured in millimetres. After drying, pods are passed through sieves with round holes; the size of the hole a pod will not pass through gives it its grade.

Bigger is pricier — but not always better for you

Large 8 mm and 8.5 mm pods look impressive and command the highest prices. They are the right choice when appearance matters: gift boxes, premium retail packs, whole-spice dishes where the pod is seen on the plate.

If the cardamom will be ground into a powder, brewed into tea or blended into masala, nobody will see the pod. A 6–7 mm or 7–8 mm grade gives you the same seeds and aroma for considerably less.

What "rejection" grades are

Pods with small marks, splits or uneven colour are separated into rejection grades. The flavour is still there, which makes them a smart buy for grinding and for spice processors.

Five ways to cook with green cardamom

11. Elaichi chai

Lightly crush two pods per cup and simmer them with the tea leaves and water before you add milk. Crushing opens the husk so the seeds can release their flavour.

22. Biryani and pulao

Add whole pods to hot ghee or oil at the start, with the other whole spices. The fat carries the aroma through every grain of rice.

33. Sweets and payasam

For kheer, halwa and ladoo, use the ground seeds only — discard the husks — and add them near the end so the aroma stays bright.

44. Coffee

A pinch of ground cardamom with your coffee grounds is a Gulf tradition. It softens bitterness and adds a gentle sweetness.

55. Baking

Swap some of the cinnamon in a cake, bun or cookie recipe for freshly ground cardamom. A little goes a long way.

Kitchen · Recipe

A proper cup of elaichi chai

The simplest way to taste the difference good cardamom makes. The trick is to crush the pods and let them simmer before the milk goes in.

You need

• Sugar, to taste
• A small piece of ginger (optional)

Method

1. Lightly crush the pods so they split open.
2. Simmer the cardamom (and ginger) in the water for 2–3 minutes.
3. Add the tea and boil for another minute.
4. Pour in the milk and sugar and bring back to the boil.
5. Simmer for a minute, strain into cups and serve hot.
