Cardamom (Elaichi, Yellakka, Yellakki, Elakka) is mainly a herb that takes the form of a small seedpod. There are two types of cardamom..green and brown, popularly known in India as choti elaichi and moti elaichi. Green cardamom is the more widely used variety and is a key ingredient in enhancing flavours in desserts, gravies, garam masala, tea and coffee. It also has medicinal values and is used to treat infections in teeth and gums, to prevent and treat throat troubles, congestion of lungs and pulmonary tuberculosis, inflammation of eyelids and digestive disorders.
