Omitted important step: first toast the pods in a skillet. This helps bring out the flavor and makes it easier to open. From here you can remove the seeds from the pods and grind them by hand.
Hi
Please I would love to ask. Do you toast the pods with oil or just pods alone?
Thanks
@@hopeokeke3045 no oil needed.
@@clauc5587 thanks for the reply. How long do I toast them for?
Thank you for giving the information clearly, completely and under three minutes. As we say here in the southern US... "Bless your little pea-pickin' heart." 💖
Thank you for your beautiful comment. Made me smile and I am glad to hear it!
If you don't want to waste the pods, you can use the pods to steep tea!
Appreciate your simple & focused approach to teaching those of us who don't know about these matters. Thank you!
I usually just put the whole pods in to the rice cooker, then if you get them softened the seeds pop right out into the rice, love it
That’s a great way too ✨
@@KindEarthTV I also like to do 147mph on a motorbike the odd Sunday, keep It spicy....😉

North on 101 I saw 151. Will accept credit for 149.
Stay safe and buy the best helmet they sell.
Very helpful thank you.... Good to see someone break these little fellahs down naturally by hand as opposed to 'chucking everything in a mixer' ...👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
In the Indian cooking, cardamom powder is mainly used in the sweet dishes and the whole pods're used in the savory dishes
Awesome information, thankyou. If one isn't interested in toasting the pods, instead of using a knife, I have found a sharp crack with the pestal in the mortar cracks them open. Might save a random injury with the knife. I'm trying this spice for the first time, and am really excited about adding it to stuff. ☺
The flavor of this thing is so addictive. First, I only put 4-5 whole pod when I cook rice. Then, I put it in almost every dish. And now, I eat it like snack.
So well done, good information, lovely voice, no annoying background music
What a simple & straightforward presentation, thanks very much. I tend to just squash the whole pod with the back of the knife then add to my curry but of course it's hit and miss as to who gets the seedpod in their portion so from now on I'll de-seed as you suggest and discard the husk.
Tried making Shakshuka for the first time and using cardamom for the first time in the same dish. Wow it was amazing.
I’m addicted to these I always use them whole when I make a curry I love then 😍😍😍
Greem Cardamom is one of my most favourite flavours. I put the whole pod into the Mortar it rmoves the shell so much quicker. I also put the shell into my milk when I make Chai as well. If you are cooking with it then just scoop out the shells and you are done in seconds.
Ah yes, that's actually the other way I do it too... I started doing that shortly after I made this video in 2015... typical haha.
Well ,I was going to use my coffee bean grinder why wouldn't that do the trick?I know it would also incorporate the husk but would be way easier right?
I am only now investigating cardamon as a spice for my cooking. I know almost nothing about cardamon. I have not yet seen, smelled or tasted cardamon. Thank you for this informative video. (baby steps . . . at 68 )
I imagine using whole cardamon is something like using whole fresh ground black pepper compared to the ground black pepper you get in stores; which might have been ground months earlier then placed in a container, losing the light oils and most of its flavor.
Sounds logical , some good points to consider when purchasing spices , herbs 👍
I just bought some and tried it for the first time. I don't care for it at all. The taste and smell is a blend of Vicks vapor rub and chopped up christmas trees.
Cardamom is super superb!
And they seem to last for eternity.
I'm talking from a funny experience of coming back to some goods i kept them, while away.
It's over 8 years and these packs of cardamom, seem to be hail and hearty!
🤣.
The aroma from the pods are still pretty strong.
My gain, right now, as I will not get them at such prices again.
Thank you! Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
YES agree the fragrance is divine ! no powder get the pods. I can never get powder using my mortar and pestle
I can only get a powder with my stone one ✨
Very helpful and such a charming lady
I’m a philistine, I know. I tend to use an electric coffee bean grinder. That’s not necessarily the brilliant idea it sounds like. I’m on my second one because I gummed up my first one with resin from something. Probably cloves.
Simple and sweet.
Hi you can benefit from grinding the whole pods in a coffee grinder, the green shell ia as important
Great , simple , THANK YOU
You most welcome... thanks for stopping by.
I put mine in a button bag on a hard surface and crush them with the end of a screwdriver lol, works just like a pestle and mortor
Refreshingly straightforward video. Lovely woman, great info,informative AND pleasant. I am signing up!!!!!
This is the first time I've seen someone throw the pod out.
They have always grounded whole pods.
Most helpful, well explained in a lovely setting. Looking forward to now seeing the site. Thanks
thank you
Thanks for the informative video.....
You are very welcome
How many pods should I use in a simmer pot?
Hi, I just subscribed.
Do you toast the seeds?
I toast the pods in a small pan, crack the pods a little in the mortar and pick out the shells.
Then put the seeds in my old Braun spice grinder. Voilà.
Where did you purchase your pesto mortar
It was a gift but they are available anywhere that sells kitchen stuff. Or online. Just get a stone one
Great video, thank you so much. I wasn't sure how to use them so this was really great for me. Are there any uses for the discarded pods?
u can use them to infuse tea, just obviously take them out before you drink it lol
@@iRaps1 Interesting, may give it a go!!
Thank you! It was extremely helpful! :-)
Thk q so much for yr video. Just like to know do I need to toast it first before grinding.
White does not always mean bleached if green is light on colour can mean they extracted oil from the pods. So look for dark green.
Most cardamom i buy looks pale to yellow and inside is not black seeds but brownish..
Okay you sure how to handle the seeds... now how do you put them in food??
That is a valid question. What I would do is get the contents out of the pod and grind them up. If you want to take the time you can separate all the little "balls" out of the pod. I leave them whole and cook them with rice. I will put cardamom in coffee but I use the "ground stuff" (about 1/4 tsp. per 2 cups of coffee... more if you like it that way.)
Hi, I have one small problem with crushing the cardamom as It is not desirable to swallow the grounds when added to your black tea. So, i don't where and how you use it but this method is not recommended for tea...
The seeds are edible so no problem swallowing them
Vixen..
For sure.....
This comment has to be meant In the "nice" sensual manner, I'm sure!!!
Where can I find them? Been looking for them and Star Anise but haven’t been able to find them in stores.
Tesco sell them if you are in the UK
@@chloecooper2893 Amazon carries an assortment of Cardamon
I would like to know if I can just use a coffee grinder to grind the seeds?
You could, although best to shell them first (and they might smell of coffee).
@melbabennett356 - That's what I do. I have a couple of old ones that I've cleaned out so they don't smell like coffee. One I use for herbs, the other for cardamom seeds and cloves.
I'm from the U.S. Where can this be bought?
Indian store . Or on line
@@MV-pu7nb Thanks. I found it at a local store World Market. Great recipe!
Sprouts
Sooooo...after all that, how do we use it?
This was a demonstration on how to use the actual pods (as opposed to just the powder etc). I felt to make the video people, because people have often asked what to do when they get the pods. If you mean actual recipes then you'll find plenty of them if you search for cardamom recipes.
You can add it to coffee, tea (chai), or cakes. It's very popular in Arabian and Indian cuisine.
I grind up one seed a day and put it in my hot teas
What's oroma
aroma - how it smells
