Product Description
Cardamom Powder (Ground Elaichi)
Cardamom powder, also called ground cardamom or elaichi powder, is a fine spice powder used to flavour chai, rice puddings, sweets and bakes. It saves you cracking open pods and grinding the seeds yourself.
The taste is sweet, warm and floral, with a cool, citrusy edge. The smell fills the kitchen as soon as you open the pack.
What Cardamom Powder Tastes Like and How It Behaves
Ground cardamom has a strong flavour, so a small amount goes a long way. A pinch is often enough for a pot of tea or a bowl of rice pudding.
The powder blends straight into milk, batters, doughs and syrups without any straining. Whole pods need crushing and picking out. The powder simply disappears into the dish.
Ways to Use Cardamom Powder
- Stir into masala chai or simmer it in milk with sugar
- Add to kheer, rice pudding and semolina halwa
- Mix into gulab jamun syrup or the dough for ladoo and barfi
- Bake into Scandinavian-style buns, shortbread, banana bread or carrot cake
- Add a pinch to coffee, as in Arabic-style coffee
- Season biryani, pilau rice and mild curry sauces
- Stir into porridge, yoghurt or custard with a little honey
Tips for Cooking with Ground Cardamom
Cardamom powder works best when you start small and taste as you go. Begin with a quarter teaspoon for a family-sized dish and add more if you want it stronger.
For baking, mix the powder into the flour or sugar first. This spreads the flavour evenly through the bake. In milky drinks and puddings, stir it in while the liquid is warm so the aroma comes out.
Cardamom Powder FAQ
How much cardamom powder replaces whole pods?
Around one teaspoon of cardamom powder is roughly equal to the seeds of six pods. This is only a guide, so taste and adjust to suit your recipe.
Can I use cardamom powder instead of pods in chai?
Yes, you can use cardamom powder in chai. Add a small pinch to the simmering milk and tea, and stir well. The tea will look slightly cloudy from the fine powder, but the flavour is the same sweet, floral note.
Is cardamom only for sweet dishes?
No, cardamom is used in savoury cooking too. It goes into biryani, pilau rice and many curry spice blends, usually in small amounts alongside cumin, coriander and cinnamon.
Add cardamom powder to your basket ready for your next pot of chai, batch of kheer or tray of spiced bakes.

We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect. This is particularly applicable to products supplied in cans, tins, plastic containers, boxes or similar packaging. If you receive a product that is broken, leaking, materially damaged, unsafe, unusable or otherwise not as described, please contact us within 24 Hours of delivery by email or telephone and provide your order number, details of the issue and clear photographs of the damaged product and packaging. We may require further information or evidence to investigate the matter and, where necessary, may take up to 14 days to complete our investigation. Where damage appears to have occurred during delivery, we may need to raise a claim with the courier, and you may be required to complete and return any Damage on Receipt (DOR) form or other documentation requested by the courier before the claim can be processed. Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect. Product images displayed on our website are for illustration and presentation purposes only. Actual product packaging, branding, design, colour, size, shape or appearance may vary depending on availability, manufacturer, batch or packaging updates. Such variations do not necessarily indicate that the product supplied is different from the product ordered, provided that the product itself corresponds to the description and specifications stated on the website. We ask customers to check their order and products as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and contact us promptly if there is any material damage, fault, incorrect item or issue with the goods.
