What is Black Cardamom (Bari Elaichi)?

Black Cardamom, also called Bari Elaichi, comes from the seeds of the Amomum subulatum plant. It has a deep, earthy aroma with hints of camphor and menthol, often used in biryani, curries, and herbal infusions. Unlike green cardamom, black cardamom pods are dried over open flames, giving them a distinctive smoky flavor.
