What to do if a recipe calls for cardamom pods?

We Answered:

I use cardamom pods all the time. You can either just break those between your fingers, or drop them as hole. If you break the pods you get more flavor, and aroma, but if you use the hole pods, they are easier to remove.
You can crush and break the pods, then put those in the center of a small clean cheese cloth, tie it loosely with cooking twine, and put it in the pot. This way you will have no problem removing the pods, and you'll get all the flavor too.
The easiest way is to use cardamom powder, maybe just 1/4 tsp.
If you do not want to remove the pods at all, break or crush the pods in small pieces. It is not harmful to swallow the pods, you might just feel the seeds (like the grape seeds).

Suzanne Said:

What is the equivalent of ground cardamom for 5 crushed cardamom pods?

We Answered:

For recipes requiring whole cardamom pods, a generally accepted equivalent is 10 pods equals 1Â½ teaspoons of ground cardamom. 5 pods would be 3/4 teaspoon.
