Heera Green Cardamom

Heera Green Cardamom – Aromatic Whole Elaichi Pods

Bring a sweet, floral fragrance and warm, complex flavour to your cooking with Heera Green Cardamom. Also known as green elaichi, these whole cardamom pods are a versatile spice for Indian, South Asian and Middle Eastern recipes, from fragrant biryani and gently spiced curries to warming masala chai and delicate desserts.

One Spice, Sweet and Savoury Possibilities

• Masala chai: lightly crush the pods and simmer with tea, milk and your favourite chai spices.
• Biryani and pulao: add whole pods while cooking to infuse rice with their distinctive aroma.
• Curries and dals: use in your whole-spice base for an extra layer of flavour.
• Indian sweets: use the crushed seeds in kheer, payasam, halwa and other cardamom-scented desserts.
• Baking: add ground cardamom seeds to cakes, biscuits and sweet breads.

How to Use Whole Green Cardamom

For a comforting pot of chai or a fragrant rice dish, gently crack the pods just before cooking to release their aroma. For a finer texture in sweets and baking, remove the seeds and grind them. Cardamom has a distinctive flavour, so start with a small amount and adjust to your recipe. Remove whole pods before serving if preferred.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep tightly sealed between uses to help retain the spice's aroma. Refer to the packaging for product information.
