How to Powderize Green Cardamoms

Procedure:

Below are the ways on how one can powderize green cardamoms and use them as herbs and spices. You can do this by yourself and no need for any expensive equipment. It would be best if you were patient and resourceful.

Typical Rolling Pin Method

1. Remove the seeds from the shells.
2. Throw away the shells.
3. Place the seeds on a chopping board or any flat surface that is dry and clean.
4. Use the rolling pin to roll over the seeds and start grinding them into powder.

Rolling Pin – Granulated Sugar Method

1. Remove seeds from the shell and place them on a dry and clean flat surface or chopping board.
2. Then, add one teaspoon of granulated sugar to the cardamom seeds.
3. Using a clean rolling pin, begin grinding the seeds. Keep on rubbing until it turns into powder form.

Trivia: The granulated sugar can create friction in the cardamom seeds enabling easier crushing. However, employing the granular sugar method would mean that the cardamom will get mixed into the sugar. Thus, separating the two components is next to impossible.
