Cardamom | #NaPoWriMo2020 | Prompt 20

Prompt: Write an ode to a food item, a dish or an ingredient in a dish.

Whenever I think of a distinct fragrance

Cardamom is one of the firsts coming to existence

I crave for it in mom's delicious kheer

But oh how I hate it in my special biryani

And that's what I like about it

Love, hate, everything, a little bit

It makes my fancy turmeric latte a treat

And adds fun to masala chai tantrum

Wrapped in a tiny green pod

It's a whiff of freshness

 Just a few little black dots

Making the fragrance linger
