Cardamom Powder

Cardamom powder is made using the seeds of green cardamom. The skins of the cardamoms are either discarded or used in the tea leaves to give a hint of aroma. Cardamom is among the costliest spices all around the world. To make cardamom powder, one should always look for ‘green gold’ type cardamom as they are more aromatic and have extra seeds in them. It is important to prepare small batches of cardamom powder as they lose flavor and aroma quickly and should be stored in an airtight container away from moisture.
