Green cardamom which is known to be the world’s second most expensive spice has a complex flavour which complements many sweet Punjabi dishes and particularly savoury ones too. The spice has a very floral aroma with a herbal like taste. Green cardamom can be used whole or ground. When used for curry or rice dishes it is usually kept whole and when used for Indian desserts it is used in powdered form. It is used in small quantities due to its strong and intense flavour. Research suggests green cardamom helps digestive disorders and aids in coping with diabetes and asthma.
