Clarified butter gives these cardamom-scented Middle Eastern cookies, sometimes known as “queen's bracelets,” a crispy texture.
These spiced sugar cookies are a breeze to make during the busy holiday season. We've topped them with store-bought chocolate rosettes, but chocolate-covered cashews make a tasty substitution.
Gobble up this sweet rice pudding as soon as it's ready, because it thickens and loses its creaminess quickly. The half vanilla bean we call for in the ingredient list should be halved crosswise; if you halve it lengthwise, the moist seeds of the unused half will quickly dry out and lose their flavour.
To make things really easy, scoop the ice cream up to three hours ahead of time and place it on a parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Then, transfer the sheet to your freezer until you're ready to serve.
Basic shortbread gets jazzed up with pistachios and cardamom in this recipe. The rose water gives the icing a lovely floral note.
Roasting the sweet potatoes before adding them to the broth mixture enhances their sweet, earthy flavour and gives this Indian-inspired soup deeper colour.
This aromatic curry starts with a practically prep-free sauce that gets its potent flavour from garam masala, a finely ground blend of cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander, mace and cloves. To save time on prep, look for the ready-made mix in the spice aisle.
This brunch treat is made by forming the dough in the traditional à tête style (individual buns with a smaller dough ball, called a "head," on top), so everyone gets a serving with the perfect mix of dark-golden exterior and soft, buttery interior. Serve with our Orange Cardamom Butter (link to recipe, below).
Heat Rating: Medium The Chinese spice trio of star anise, cloves and cinnamon, along with Indian black mustard seeds and fragrant cardamom pods, spike this delicious curry. Serve it with lots of white rice to soak up the sauce. It is always nice to serve a spicy curry with sliced cucumber and refreshing, tart fruit, such as half-ripe mango (choose a firm one), starfruit or apple.
