Elaichi, or cardamom, is a versatile spice that enhances both sweet and savoury dishes. Its aromatic flavour makes it a must-have in Indian kitchens for a range of recipes.
Elaichi is often added to traditional sweets like kheer, halwa, and ladoos to enhance their taste with a fragrant, sweet aroma.
A pinch of crushed elaichi in your tea (chai) elevates the flavour, providing a refreshing, aromatic sip.
Add whole cardamom pods to biryani or pulao for a subtle, aromatic depth.
Elaichi is a key ingredient in garam masala, adding warmth to curries.
Crush elaichi into milk-based drinks like lassi or milkshakes for a fragrant twist.
Use ground elaichi in cakes, cookies, or breads to introduce a unique, exotic flavour.
