5 family cardamom Recipes

water, family-size tea bags (i recommend luzianne), cardamom pods, splenda sugar substitute (or 200g sugar)

fresh lime juice, honey (soften first to make it easier to whisk) or 1/4 cup agave nectar (soften first to make it easier to whisk), ground cardamom (optional-my addition ), chopped fresh mint, fresh blueberries, washed and drained, fresh strawberries, washed, hulled and halved, apples, washed, cored and cut into 3/4-inch-inch chunks (*i used criterion apples-your choice to peel), fresh mint leaves

ginger (you can easily make this if you want, far better than the jar variety) or 4 tbsp garlic paste (you can easily make this if you want, far better than the jar variety), coriander powder (toasted seeds and ground in the blender is best but fresh powder will work fine), cumin powder (toasted seeds and ground in the blender is best but fresh powder will work fine here too), salt & fresh ground pepper (to taste), turmeric, whole cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, vegetable oil (your favorite ), cayenne pepper (or to taste) or 1 hot chili pepper, boneless chicken, onion (diced ), tomato (diced ), butter (optional), water
