What is Black Cardamom Pods? Black cardamom is 4 to 6 times the size of the common small cardamom. There are many distinct species of black cardamom, ranging in pod size from 2 cm to more than 5 cm, with different tastes. Its flavor, aroma and other qualities are quite different from small cardamom. Especially, it has a distinctly more astringent aroma, though not bitter, with coolness similar to mint. In India, black cardamom is preferred for spicy dishes, wherein it is used liberally. It is most commonly used in slow-cooked meat stews and is never used in sweet dishes. In China, the pods are used for braised meat dishes, particularly in Sichuan cuisine, and in Vietnam, they are used as an ingredient in pho noodle soup. Read more Culinary Uses: There are different ways to incorporate black cardamom in rice dishes. The most common way is to add it to the boiling water in which we cook the Biryani Rice. This lets rice absorb the flavor of the whole spices, making them more aromatic and flavorful. It can even be added to Achari Pulao to give it more of a kick. Black cardamom can be sautéed with vegetables and other whole spices to enhance its flavor before the rice is added to make Hyderabadi Sofiyani Biryani. The taste of the cardamom enriches the koftas added in the biryani. Read more Aroma and Flavor: Big Cardamom has a pleasant aromatic odor, due to which it is extensively used for flavoring rice & vegetables and many meat preparations. Black Cardamom has a strong, smoky flavor. Most of the flavor and taste of a whole cardamom pod comes from the tiny seeds inside the pod. The whole pods are dried over an open fire for a long time which gives it a very strong, pungent woody aroma that distinguishes it from other spices.
