Badi Elaichi (200 gm)

Bold, smoky, and intensely aromatic, Naubahar Badi Elaichi (Black Cardamom) is an essential spice that brings depth and complexity to Indian cooking. With its robust, earthy flavor and warm, camphor-like aroma, this spice enhances everything from rich curries and dals to pulao and slow-cooked meats. Carefully sourced and sun-dried to preserve its natural oils, Badi Elaichi is a powerhouse of both taste and wellness benefits.

Description:

Unlike its sweeter counterpart, green cardamom, Badi Elaichi has a deep, smoky essence that pairs perfectly with bold spices. It is slow-roasted or crushed to release its full-bodied aroma, adding a distinctive warmth to both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Beyond its culinary uses, this spice is also valued for its digestive and medicinal properties.

• Masala Chai & Kadhas: Enhances herbal teas and immunity-boosting concoctions with its warming properties.
• Tandoori & Mughlai Dishes: Perfect for marinating meats and creating flavorful tandoori spice blends.
• Homemade Garam Masala: Often ground with other whole spices to create authentic spice mixes.

Benefits:

• Aids digestion and promotes gut health.
