I was shopping in the local sainsburys when I saw a big 600gm plastic container of whole cardamon seeds
"That might be nice if ever I'm making a curry", I thought as I put it in my basket. When I got home my wife asked the obvious question, "Why the fuck did you buy so many cardamon seeds, you're never going to use them?". I didn't really have any comeback as it occured to me that having never used this strong tasting and unground spice before, I'd have to commence spooning it over every meal for a year to get through it.
About three months later, having not used it at all, I was in the same Sainsburys, drunk from the pub, when I saw a big 600gm plastic container of whole cardamon seeds.
"That might be nice if ever I'm making a curry", I thought as put in my basket. It wasn't until I opened the pantry at home and saw the other jar that I remembered I'd already done this exact same thing before. They're both still there. Anyone know a good recipe that includes using a kilo of cardamon seeds?

Take 1 kilo of cardamom seeds,
spoon into mouth and chew.

Enjoy.

yes, spoon 4 teaspoons of instant coffee into a small cup, add a few cardamom pods and crush.
Add hot water and pass off the mix as genuine Turkish Coffee.

Tip them all into a saltwater pool, to turn it into a multi-condiment one.

Grind it into powder, add to three litres of water.
Attach a hose to a funnel, shove the hose up your arse and apply as an enema, then tubgirl the mixture into your own mouth.

Get the seeds out of the pods and blend with ice, bananas, milk, and vanilla seeds if you're not a peasant. Drink.
Good for slaking hangover thirst.

What is a cardamom seed

put a ton of it in a spice grinder/coffee grinder with black peppercorns
and star anise or cinnamon or whatever else,

and then boil it up in some milky and sugary tea so that you have chai to drink. That gets rid of cardamom really quickly.

(I have this exact same problem but with turmeric, and I just hide a little bit in everything I cook now. Daily Mail says it cures cancer, or causes it...)

Grind them up and turn them into a cardamom version of the cinnamon challenge?
