My favourite spice is Cardamom. My mother puts it in the curry chicken she cooks. (my favourite dish)
Unlike others who spits out or leaves the spices untouched, I love chewing and receiving, absorbing the flavours from this wonderful spice. But it can get too spice-y.
Cardamom originally came from wild plants located in the Western Ghats in Southern India. The plants grew in such abundance in this region that this area became known as Cardamom Hills. During the 19th century, plantations of cardamom were set up by British colonists in India and this is where much of the green and black cardamom that we use still comes from today.
