Ground black cardamom seed density ~0.50 g/ml gives 2.5 g per tsp
Instead of Ground black cardamom
Nothing truly replaces the intense, wood-fired smokiness and menthol undertone of ground black cardamom.
Black cardamom seedsUse equal weight; grind freshly in a mortar or spice mill for an even more vibrant camphor-and-smoke aroma.
Black cardamom podUse 2.5 times the weight in whole pods; crack open, extract the sticky seeds, and grind to a fine powder, discarding the husks.
Garam masalaUse 60% of the weight; provides some warm resinous smokiness if it contains black cardamom, though it adds cinnamon and clove notes.
