Here, back in Malaysia, I guess people here don't use them except for the Indian community of course. Getting frustrated, I have to google for the recipe and I found that yours is the best.

I'm guessing from your reply to Sanjay that what you use in your own recipe is black cardamom pods and not green ones--is this right? Also, does the Tablespoon quantity specified in your recipe refer to just the inner seeds, or to the entire pods (yet to be shelled)? Thanks in advance for your help!
