Cardamom, also known as elaichi, is mainly used in Asian cuisine. Green cardamom adds wonderful flavor to soups, white sauces, pilafs, marinades, legumes, shrimp, meats, and poultry.

In particular, it enhances all salads, such as those with potatoes, leafy greens, and legumes.

You can flavor baked goods with cardamom, including cinnamon rolls, muffins, cookies, cakes, and brioche. Use it in marinades for meats, dips, and dressings. It also pairs very well with rice pudding, smoothies, tea beverages, and coffees.
