It is a whole type of high-class "green cardamom" cultivated only in limited land. In India it is called "Elaichi".
In addition to curry, it is very often used to add flavor to sweets in India, and is recommended for flavoring drinks such as coffee, tea, and masala chai, as well as for smelling meat dishes.
In India, one grain of whole green cardamom is put in one's mouth, and while chewing it sweetly, it is rolled on the tongue and eaten as a mouth freshener. The spice "Brown Cardamom", which is indispensable for "Biryani", has the same name as Cardamom, but the scent is completely different, so be careful not to confuse it.
[One point]
When using, crush it lightly with the bottom of the bottle. If you want to knead it directly into sweets, peel off the pods, take out the seeds inside, and crush them. You can enjoy the same freshness of spices as when you chew coarse ground pepper in your mouth.
