Black Cardamom, or Badi Elaichi, is the heart of robust Indian flavours. Known for its smoky, deep aroma and earthy taste, it is an essential spice in rich curries, biryanis, and slow-cooked delicacies. Spice Chariot brings you premium whole pods that deliver unmatched warmth and character.

In traditional Indian cooking, badi elaichi is used to build flavour from the ground up. Its smoky essence transforms gravies, dals, pulaos, and tandoori dishes into aromatic masterpieces. It is the hidden hero of classic garam masala, giving dishes a soulful, old-world richness.

Our black cardamom pods are naturally cured over wood smoke, enhancing their robust aroma and medicinal properties. When simmered in curries or stews, they release layers of warmth—woody, spicy, and slightly sweet—that make the dish irresistibly comforting.

Whether you’re preparing Mughlai cuisine, North Indian gravies, or homemade spice blends, Badi Elaichi adds depth and tradition. Spice Chariot’s premium pods bring authenticity rooted in generations of Indian cooking wisdom.
