    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! icon7.gif

  • 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 ;) )
