Black Cardamom

Black cardamom, also known as Badi Elaichi or Moti Elaichi, is a popular spice in Indian cuisine, particularly for savory dishes. It's characterized by its dark brown to black color and a strong, smoky flavor that's more pronounced than green cardamom. Black cardamom is often used whole in dishes like lentils, rice, and curries, or can be crushed or fried to release its aroma.
