It is this type of cardamom that does not have the largest pods, but they are filled with aromatic seeds!
Large brown pods of black cardamom of various shapes and sizes - from two centimeters to five. This is one of the oldest spices, however, you will not find it often in Ukraine. Most cookbooks describe black cardamom as a substitute for regular cardamom, but this is unlikely to be true. For example, in India, this spice, which is called "kali eilachi", "bali eilachi" or "bijilachi", has its own field of application - Indians prefer to add black cardamom to simple spicy traditional dishes, considering green cardamom to be the heritage of the high cuisine of the Great Mughals.
Applications
Usually, boxes of black cardamom are sold whole. They have a rather pleasant aroma with a slight hint of smoke and camphor. The field of application of black cardamom in cooking is very wide. These spices need time to fully reveal their aroma, therefore, as a rule, they are used in dishes with long-term heat treatment. Cardamom is especially popular in North Indian cuisine. There, it is included in almost all traditional spice mixtures, and in combination with almonds and saffron, it is necessarily added to festive rice dishes. It is often used to flavor sausage products.
This spice is added to various drinks. For example, in France, cardamom is added to liqueurs, in India it is used to prepare a refreshing sour milk drink. The Chinese often add cardamom seeds to tea. Cardamom is often added to desserts and pastries. Germans cook with it Easter cakes and Lebküchen gingerbread with candied fruit, almonds and honey. No oriental sweet is complete without this spice - baklava and other pastries, especially with nut filling.
Together with cinnamon and star anise, cardamom goes well with jams made from walnuts, pears, quinces and plums. Cardamom is very suitable for meat dishes. The warm, smoky aroma of black cardamom does not dominate the dish, but rather opens up and enhances the flavor of other foods, so it can be added without being overpowering. The combination of cardamom and nutmeg goes well with boiled fish of valuable breeds. Cardamom can be added whole pods, or you can take out the black seeds and pound them or grind them finely.
