Cardamom is one of the world’s ancient spices. It has a very pleasing flavor and aroma. Being expensive, second only to saffron, it is seen as a ‘festive’ spice and is often adulterated & substituted by inferior related plants like Siam cardamom, Nepal cardamom etc. However, it is only Elettaria cardamomum - grown in MALABAR region in INDIA, which is the true cardamom. Cardamom comes from the seeds of a ginger-like plant. The small, brown-black sticky seeds are contained in a pod in three double rows with about six seeds in each row. The seeds are crushed or fried before use as a flavoring. It has been used as a digestive since ancient times. The Arabs attributed aphrodisiac qualities to it, the ancient Egyptians chewed cardamom seeds as a tooth cleaner; the Greeks and Romans used it as a perfume. It is a flavoring for Arab and Turkish coffee which is served with an elaborate ritual. Hotness Scale: 2

Coriander is widely cultivated in INDIA. Coriander seeds are almost spherical, one end being slightly pointed, the other slightly flattened. There are many longitudinal ridges. The color, when dried, is usually brown, but may be green or off white. The seed is generally sold dried and in this state is apt to split into halves. Seeds are sweet and aromatic when ripe. Coriander seed is generally used coarsely ground or more finely powdered, depending on the texture desired. Ground coriander is apt to lose its flavors and aroma quickly and should be stored in an opaque airtight container. Whole seeds keep indefinitely. Their flavor may be enhanced by a light roasting before use. As coriander is a mild spice it is used by the handful, rather than the pinch. The commonest use of coriander seed is in curry powders, where it is the bulkiest constituent. Coriander seeds are considered to be carminative, diuretic, tonic, stomachic, antibilious, refrigerant and aphrodisiac.
