Ingredients
- 1 cup cardamom pods
Instructions
- In a pan, roast the green cardamom pods for 5 minutes on low heat. Make sure to stir frequently. The color of the cardamom will slightly change, but you don't want them to brown.
- Take off the heat, and let the cardamom cool completely. Then, transfer to a spice grinder and grind to a fine powder. If there are any large particles, you can run it through a sieve. You can also leave it slightly coarse if desired.
- Transfer the cardamom powder to an airtight container and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Notes
- Sieve for Smoothness: After grinding the seeds, you can sift the powder to remove any larger pieces of seeds or husks that did not grind well. Sifting ensures your cardamom powder has a smooth and even texture, blending perfectly into your dishes.
- Small Batch Grinding: Grind your cardamom seeds in small batches for the most consistent texture. This allows the grinder to work more efficiently, evenly breaking down all the seeds. It is also better to store cardamom powder for less time for the best flavor and aroma. I recommend using it within a month of grinding.
