@adi My mind was blown at the thought of 1 tsp. of cardamom

. Is green cardamom not as strong as the brown stuff? I use the brown - wife swears she doesn't like it but I've slipped it to her hundreds of time.
@nukes - the lemongrass is awesome but I chickened out halfway through and fished it all out. Stuff is amazing strong compared to before it's cooked. Hope the other issues passes quickly.
