I bought too much Cardamom... again.What do I do with this stuff, other than use it in curry? Specifically Bengalese All Womens League Egg Curry.I've been adding the odd pod here and there to stews and curry. It gives some nice flavor depth, but can quickly be overwhelming. Are there any recipes where it really shines?
>>21848729Cardamom bread, cardamom coffee, I remember some desserts with cardamom that were good. Cardamom coffee is honestly my favorite out of everything I've had with cardamom focus
Spice buns.Durkadurka coffee. Masala chai.Gypsy toast.Rice pudding.
I've heard of people putting it in coffee to get temporary Kwisatz Haderach powers
>>21848729Grind it into a powder and use it in desserts.
>>21848729ice cream. goes really well with dairy desserts like Shahi tukra
>>21848770>Shahi tukraInteresting. I'm a fan of bread pudding and I can see how it would go well with that.>>21848749>cardamom coffeeI now remember purchasing some pre-mixed "coffee spice" from a spice peddler some years ago that had cardamom in it. It was pretty good as an occasional variation to milk coffee.>>21848753>masala chaiThat's a great idea that I somehow missed.>durkadurka coffeeIs that just coffee spiced with cardamom?>Rice puddingI've seen some anons' rice pudding recipes on here that mentioned cardamom. I'll try that - my grandma would have never ever used that.
>>21848823you missed>ice cream.Cardamom icecream is VERY good, worth owning a cheap icecream maker for the once a year ice cream making binge
>>21848827In my mind, making ice cream is for fatties and yuppies.I might be slightly scared of gaining 50 pounds after opening that box of pandora.
>>21848837Fat people are lazy and yuppies don't make their own food, they buy it. Make me cream
>>21848841Make the* cream
>>21848841Well, I guess I do have a lot of cardamom to get through.
>>21848767stop telling the normals this
>>21848823I add some in when I make carrot halwa.
>>21848837Get a hand-crank ice cream machine, you'll earn it
Cardamom is good in sweet porridges. Try making an oatmeal porridge with a mashed banana inside, use some cardamom and honey. Almond butter is good mixed in too.
>>21848729Haven’t seen a simple syrup suggestion yet, i did that once and loved it.
>>21848729I put in coffee, oatmeal, italian/mexican wedding cookies, all sorts of stuff.It's a great flavour
>>21848729Cardamom is goated in both coffee and crepes
>>21848854It's ok, normgroids don't have enough Atteides DNA for it to make any difference
>>21848729i made chocolate cookies (not chocolate chip) with cardamom powder and it was probably one of my favorites. it's good in tea and coffee. swedish cardamom buns use it as a main flavoring, never had it but i wanted to try it
>>21848729Woooo, that's a good problem to have. It'll last a long time if you keep them right. They're great with desserts, great with yogurt, great in some stews, great with rice dishes. Green Cardamom + sugar is wonderful, a great addition for ice cream too. I bet it'd be cool for a creme brulee, or custard of sorts. People here are mentioning coffee, and that sounds amazing.Don't try to run through it, honestly. Use it when you want to use it
Grind or pound the seeds into powder and use it in-addition-to-or-as-replacement-for cinnamon in making snickerdoodles, but don't use as much as you would cinnamon. Cardamom is much stronger-tasting.
