Omega Cardamom Powder: ground green cardamom for Arabic coffee, chai, kheer and baking. Single 1 kg pack.
Cardamom powder is ground green cardamom, with a sweet, floral and slightly citrus aroma. It flavours Arabic coffee, chai, kheer, halwa, gulab jamun, rice pudding and Scandinavian buns. A pinch also lifts biryani, kormas and fruit salads. Ground cardamom is convenient for baking and sweets because it disperses evenly in batters and syrups. It is potent, so start with a quarter teaspoon and adjust. Cardamom is made from the seeds of plants in the Elettaria and Amomum genera, native to the Indian subcontinent and Indonesia. Ground cardamom is especially volatile; keep it in a small, tightly sealed jar and refill from the main pack as needed. Bakers use it in Danish pastries and Swedish cardamom buns, and in the Gulf a pinch is often stirred into milk tea, dates and syrups for festive desserts and celebrations.
