Coffee and Cardamom is a flavor combination I’d neve experienced together until I lived in the UAE. The first time I was handed a cup of Cardamom Coffee was during Iftar in Abu Dhabi. I remember being extremely skeptical as in my mind Cardamom only paired well with Tea. And boy was I wrong!! Coffee and Cardamom are a match made in heaven. The intoxicating aroma and sweet taste of Cardamom tastes magical when paired with Coffee.
My Filter Coffee and Cardamom Phirni today is inspired by all the delicious cups of Cardamom Coffee I devoured in the UAE. This Diwali do try this slightly off beat recipe and surprise your palette with this unique juxtaposition of flavors.
Have a wonderful day!
