Grinding small quantities of cardamom by Tarla Dalal

Grinding small quantities of cardamom
Grinding small quantities of cardamom is a task in itself, simply add 1 tsp of sugar to 1 tbsp of the skinned cardamom and grind in a mixer. As this provides the necessary friction required to grind, which the cardamom would not have had, making it easier to grind it in a fine smooth mixture that can be used to flavour dishes. Due to the use of sugar, this cardamom powder is best used to make sweets than to make gravies or subzis.
