Elachi / cardamon powder

Cardamon is a common ingredient in Indian cooking. Ground cardamom is very fine, almost like a powder.To make cardamom powder:

Ingredients:
Cardamon - 1 cup
Sugar - 1/2 cup

Method:
Grind cardamon pods and sugar in a mixer. Store in an airtight container and use.
Ground cardamom tends to lose its flavour and aroma soon as it loses its volatile oils. Hence, prepare in small quantities and store in an airtight jar in a cool, dry place.
