Green cardamom pods release a burst of sweet, menthol warmth as soon as they hit a hot pan. Bruise the pods lightly with the back of a knife or a pestle before adding to oil or ghee, and the aroma fills the kitchen within seconds. This is whole green cardamom, ready for everyday cooking. Add a few pods to rice as it simmers for a fragrant pilau, or drop them into a pan of milk and tea leaves for a proper masala chai. They work well in slow-cooked curries too, added early so the flavour has time to infuse, or ground fresh in a mortar for use in spiced cakes and biscuits. Keep the pods whole until you need them, as this protects the flavour for longer. Store in a cool, dry cupboard in a sealed container away from direct light. Whole pods can be left in a finished dish as a marker of where the spice sits, or removed before serving if you prefer a smoother texture. A 50g pack is a handy size to keep in the spice rack for regular use, whether you are making a weekday curry or a pot of chai on a cold evening.
