Roasted rhubarb and almond tartlets

Cardamom is lovely in combination with rhubarb, its sweet fragrance flattering the astringency of the stalks. This makes a lovely light dessert, so unlike Indian sweets, which can be heavy and cloying. This recipe uses Indian ingredients - almonds, oranges and sugar - with rhubarb, which is a very English fruit (actually, vegetable). In season, these are lovely served with berries; raspberries are especially good, as are strawberries.
