These spices are the key ingredients for this butter chicken recipe


What is cardamom it is a common ingredient in Indian cooking. Cardamom has a strong unique taste with an strong aromatic fragrance. Black cardamom has is smokey flavor black and it is not bitter to taste it has wonderful peaceful aroma with a  touch of coolness similar to mint.

Green cardamom is one of the most expensive spices by weight, but just a little is needed for flavor. It is best stored in pod form because once the seeds are open or ground  they quickly lose their flavor.
