Cardamom

[NotAllThere]

I've got some broccoli and red peppers, and I'm going to fry them with turmeric, cumin and coriandar. But the Cardamom - should I grind the seeds, or use them whole?

Grind them - pods or seeds?

[scooterscot]

Use them whole.

Very strong flavour in fact the flavour of the cardamon will spread throughout without grinding. It's also easier to avoid when eating if you don't like!

Well, it was frying for about 10 mins. The general verdict is that we should simply have crushed a few.

A teaspoonful of honey and it was still pretty good.

Anyway - worth a try.

Bring to boil some brocolli that's been chopped to a reasonable size, then seperate.
Chop some red peppers, and the boiled brocolli.
Chop an onion.
Fry onion in sunflower oil.
Add about 2 tsp of cumin powder - freshly ground for preference.
Add about 1 tsp of turmeric
Add about 2 tsp of coriander - or, better, freshly chopped
Crush about 2 tsp of cardamom, and add to the mix.
Add brocolli and peppers.
Draise about 1 tsp of honey.
Add salt and freshly ground pepper.

Cook until you want to eat it.

When do I add the chicken?

[Svalbaard]

Drop a couple of popped Cardamon pods into the pot when you make a brew.

Delicious.

Tea? Coffee? Dandilion and Burdock? Pimms & Lemonade? What?

You don't. This is the side dish to the chicken curry. But that recipe is secret.
