- Western desserts like flans, rice pudding and porridge also use cardamom to intensify the flavour
- Their flavour is quite pungent when their volatile oils are released, so only add 2-3 at a time
- To make green cardamom powder, grind the whole cardamom in a mixer to a fine powder. Pass the ground powder through a sieve to remove the outer skin
