The best replacements for ground cardamom are spices that have that same aroma and flavor, such as allspice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Anderson specifically recommends using a mix of cinnamon and ginger as a cardamom substitute: “Cardamom has a complex flavor, so it’s hard to create an exact match, but combining equal amounts of cinnamon and ginger will mimic that flavor.” If a recipe calls for two teaspoons of ground cardamom, simply combine one teaspoon of cinnamon and one teaspoon of ginger as a substitute. As for substituting whole cardamom, Anderson says whole nutmeg will give you the same warmth.
