Popularly known as Choti Elaichi in Hindi, Yelakulu in Telugu, Aelakka in Malayalam, Elakkai in Tamil, “Yalakki” in Kannada and “Ilaychi” in Gujarati. Green Cardamom - called the Queen of Spices, cardamom is the world’s third most expensive spice – surpassed only by saffron and vanilla. And not just that – this spice comes in different types as well. Green and black cardamom – the two major types. Green cardamom, also known as true cardamom, is the commonest variety, mostly cultivated from Kerala. It is used to flavor both sweet and savory dishes. It is also added to rich curries and milk-based preparations for its fragrance. Tea and coffee are also spiced with cardamom. Black cardamom is native to the Eastern Himalayas and is mostly cultivated in Sikkim, Eastern Nepal, and parts of West Bengal in India. It is brown and slightly elongated. It is used only in savory dishes like curries and biryani. It is also an essential ingredient in garam masala (the blend of spices). The dark brown seeds are known for their medicinal values – particularly so because of their nutrient content (volatile oils, calcium, iron, etc.).
