Hi @khilna, for cardamom, recipe is referring to green cardamoms. Tomato sauce is not ketchup, I generally use canned Hunts Tomato Sauce. You can replace Tomato Sauce with 1/2 cup Pasta Sauce too. Tomato ketchup will be too sweet for this recipe, however, if you have Tomato Paste Concentrate, then mix 3 tbsp in 1/2 cup warm water for recipe. Let me know if you need any help with any other ingredient. Enjoy Cooking. Happy Holidays!!
