Elaichi/Cardamom ( Elam)
One of the wel known spices in kerala. it's final touch to many recepies makes it simply wonderful and rich with a special aroma. In any recipe you only need to use only 4 to 6 max.
we got a baby plat from one of the nurseries near by. It needs shade and slight amount of sun. so we planted it under a mango tree.its been about 3 years since we planted it. we have collected elaichi from it 4 times till now. They are ready to be plucked once they turn green in color and then dry them in shade, do not leave it under the sun.
we mixed the mud with ellupodi ( organic fertilizer) and cow dung for planting. you need to water it really well. In summer, its is better if you could water it twice a day.
Tip: It costs varies for each quality.
For a finest quality, it could go up and above Rs.800/Kg in idain markets.
