spice
Cardamom seed
Elaichi dana
2 g1 teaspoon
6 g1 tablespoon
Decorticated cardamom seeds weigh about 2 g per level teaspoon.
Instead of Cardamom seed
Green cardamom seedThe same thing; use the same weight, crushed just before use for the fullest aroma.
Green cardamom podUse 1.4 times the weight (pods are roughly 30% husk); bruise and fish the husks out later, or grind whole and sieve.
Ground cardamomSame weight; convenient but fades fast, so add near the end of cooking.
