Also known as the ‘Queen of Spices’, cardamom is to Indian cooking what vanilla is to the west. Cardamom is a spice consisting of whole or ground dried fruits, or seeds, of Elettaria cardamomum, a herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger family. The seeds have a warm, slightly pungent, and highly aromatic flavour somewhat reminiscent of camphor.
