Agree with CQ's suggestions. We also throw a few in stewed Rhubarb and rice puddings.
We also do a Banana and Cardamon cake similar to this.

That cake sounds good Ted...and nice and easy to make too!

I think my taste buds might just have recovered by the next century!! Have you ever thought of putting a health warning on your posts CQ???

If you are feeling ambitious you can also make an ice-cream with cardamom:

An aquired taste perhaps, but I like it. (Although I have never made it - I just buy the Hill Station one)

Put equal quantities of sugar and water into a pan, add a few crushed cardomons and boil to reuduce and thicken slightly. When cool, pour over a fresh fruit salad. Scrumptious. :drool:

Make some Gulab Jamun to have after your curry link amongst many other recipes.

They are easy to make, and absolutely delicious. (Fattening though )

I've been looking for a recipe for cardomom cake that a Swedish friend gave me. If I manage to get my hands on it , I'll post it later.:)
