This variety is highly recommended for use in savoury dishes as it has a tint of citrusy taste and a milder sweeter flavour. It is also best suited for everyday use due to its cost-effectiveness compared to our other indigenous varieties.
The Njallani variety of cardamom was developed by Sebastian Joseph Njallani, a farmer in the cardamom hills. Found to be a high yielding variety, this farmer-bred variety was further promoted and used by many farmers. However, this variety is less pest-resistant compared to the other indigenous ones and it was after years of experiments that our farmers learned it to grow chemical-free by using zero budget natural farming methods and microbial controls.

The best way to store cardamom is to transfer it in an opaque air-tight container to avoid any exposure to moisture and sunlight. We highly recommend keeping it inside the refrigerator after transferring it to an opaque airtight container to retain maximum flavour, especially if you live in a hot area.

I live in the US and ordered an indigenous cardamom variety similar to the Njallani. Not only did the package arrive quickly (in about 10 days), but the cardamom was incredibly fresh. Green seed pods with flavorful, moist, black seeds. These are not your ordinary cardamom seeds! Even though it is more expensive to buy directly from Graamya and have it shipped to the US, I think it's worth supporting indigenous and sustainable farming methods to harvest such an amazing flavor.
I started using their spices recently and I am completely hooked. The freshness and aroma that you get from their spices is unmatchable. I also admire their efforts in conscious production, fair pricing and supporting the growers in the best possible ways. Everyone in the team is also quite supportive and share their knowledge and expertise, I found this really helpful. I have used all their spices so its hard to choose favourites, but cardamom, cloves, black pepper and cocoa have my heart.
Been sourcing my spices from Graamya for a long time now. Never been disappointed. They have always delivered what they have promised. Have enjoyed the cooking. And the compliments that flow in due to the aromas.
Thank you Graamya.
This is the best cardamom that I have tried so far. Few pods sufficient to get flavour . Easy to pound as they are dried well. It adds unique flavour to all the sweets and masala curries . looking forward to buy more indigey varieties .
We begin our day with Graamya spices, as our homemade chai masala contains some of the finest spices Graamya offers.
My quest for finding a trustworthy and ethical online spice brand stopped at Graamya. The team is extremely helpful and always guides you in making the right purchase. I have repeatedly bought most of their spices, with cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper and nutmeg being a favorite.
