A distant member of the ginger family, Cardamom is the third most expensive spice in the world. In India, it is known as the Queen of Spices and is a main ingredient in garam masala and curry powders. Also used in sweetmeats, pastries and ice-cream. Enjoy the taste in our creamy Korma sauce.
Most chillies are green while growing, ripening to red, orange, yellow and brown.
They have little aroma but vary in taste from mild to fiery hot. They help release endorphins, the body's natural painkiller. Try our Spicy Hot Madras Cooking Sauce made with chilli and tomato. The fresh stem and leaves of this green herb are aromatic and the seeds have a mild, fragrant aroma and taste similar to lemon peel and sage. In India, seeds are mildly roasted and then used in curry powders, chutneys and pickles.
