JAN'S BARI ELACHI (Black cardamom) is a popular Pakistani spice, called badi elaichiorkali elaichi, that is used in many of the cuisine's signature dishes. It is in the form of seed pods, which are dark brown to black in color and take on a smokey flavor due to the way they are dried. Jan's Bari Elachi is used for its bold and assertive taste and is the world's third-most expensive spice, surpassed in price per weight only by vanilla and saffron. Both the pods and the seeds are used in cooking and are available year-round. Black cardamom is largely used in savory Indian dishes ranging from curries, stews, deals (lentil dishes), and pilafs. In China, the pods are used for jin-jin braised meat dishes, particularly in Sichuan cuisine, and in Vietnam, they are used as an ingredient in pho noodle soup.
