Small parcel items ship regular ground via delivery services such as FedEx, UPS or DHL.

If there is a delay, you will be notified by email. No signature is required for standard ground shipping, so you may want to make arrangements to have packages brought inside soon after delivery, if you are unable to receive it in person.Description
Black cardamom is a popular Indian spice, called badi elaichi that is used in many of the cuisine’s signature dishes. It is in the form of seed pods, which are dark brown to black in color and take on a smokey flavor due to the way they are dried.The pods have a tough, dried, wrinkly skin, are roughly one inch in length, and house small, sticky, dark-colored seeds.Black cardamom is dried over an open fire creating a distinct smoky aroma and flavor. This spice also has notes of resin and camphor, as well as menthol, a slightly minty aroma that provides balance to an otherwise funky flavor.
1. About the spice
-
Mountain Mystery Black Cardamom is sourced from select farms in the Himalayan/Indian hill regions (update with your actual origin if different).
-
The pods are carefully dried and sorted to ensure bold size, dark colour and rich aroma.
2. Taste & aroma
-
Strong, smoky and slightly camphor‑like flavour that gives depth to gravies, dals, pulao and kebabs.
-
Just 1–2 pods are enough to flavour a whole pot, so use sparingly.
3. Culinary uses
-
Essential in garam masala, biryani masala and many North Indian and Mughlai recipes.
-
Use in slow‑cooked curries, dal makhani, rajma, pulao, meat and tandoori marinades; remove pods before serving if you prefer.
