Description & Use
Brown Cardamom Pods are dark brown in colour and are oval pods about 2.5cm long. The aroma is camphor-like and smokey, quite different to the better known Green Cardamom. Brown Cardamom gives a delicious smokey taste to marinades for tandoori-style cooking, and goes well in butter chicken. This is not interchangeable with green cardamom in recipes.
