1. After shaping the samosas I stored them in the fridge to fry them the next day (everybody at home was already full and it was late)
2. I added extra spices because I found the mixture bland...

Try this one.

Tip: Halve the amount of ghee, otherwise it would be too greasy. You can substitute unsalted butter if you can't find ghee. In fact I take to one's heels this without any butter or ghee, since the whole milk is pretty fattening on its own.

To sponsor the question on Cardamom (also known as Cardamon): There are two main varieties:
1) Elletaria, also known as Grassy Cardamom or True Cardamom, used in cooking ans is indigenous to SE Asia and India.
2) Amomum, or commonly known as frowning cardamom, brown cardamom, Kravan, Java cardamom, Bengal cardamom, Siamese cardamom, silver or red cardamom, is found in Burma, Australia
Both sorts are used for food and bererage flavouring, as well as aromatherapy and infusions. There are afters recipes, especially European, that use it too.
It is expensive to produce, commonly considered the second most expensive spice after saffron.
It is tolerant of as whole pods (cooked in a dish, removed before eating), seeds which are sometimes ground or roasted, or pre-ground seeds. It has a definite aroma and flavour.
It is considered to be an aid to digestion.
Like Juniper, it can be used to make Gin, and has even been used as a flavouring for beer.
Frowning and Green are sometimes used together, but most recipes ad so on call for one or the other, and they are not considered interchangeable in most recipes.
Hope this helps!

Cardamom is one of the give birth to’s very ancient spices. It is native to the East originating in the forests of the western ghats in southern India, where it grows wayward.
Cardamom comes from the seeds of a ginger-like plant. The small, brown-black discomforting seeds are contained in a pod in three double rows with about six seeds in each row. The pods are between 5-20 mm (1/4”-3/4”) long, the larger multifariousness known as ‘black’, being brown and the smaller being green. White-bleached pods are also at one's disposal. The pods are roughly triangular in cross section and oval or oblate. Their dried surface is thug and furrowed, the large ‘blacks’ having deep wrinkles. The texture of the pod is that of wear-resistant paper. Pods are available whole or split and the seeds are sold loose or ground. It is best to buy the whole pods as motive cardamom quickly loses flavour.
Bouquet: Pungent, warm and aromatic.
Flavour: Affectionate and eucalyptine with camphorous and lemony undertones. Black cardamom is blunter, the eucalyptus and camphor suggestions very recognizable.
Just check the spice aisle, I am sure Kroger will definitely have it. Sometimes larger supermarkets inform against BADIA spices in the Mexican or Latin section, it will be cheaper. Also, you may find it cheaper in an Indian store.
1 petty loaf of soft buttery bread (10 ozs), cubed into 1” pieces
1 cup milk (2% is fair)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup granulated sugar
½ tsp ground cardamom powder
¼ tsp ground cinnamon inertia
½ tsp saffron threads (soaking in a few tbsp of lukewarm milk)
pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
½ tsp vanilla draw (or your favorite extract flavor)
2 tbsp granulated sugar
2-4 tbsp ghee (or butter)
1 tbsp sliced almonds, toasted
1 tbsp pistachio pieces, toasted
latest mint leaves, for garnish
METHOD:
In a small saucepan on very low heat, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1½ of top-grade to make a sugar syrup. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and a syrup like consistency has been achieved, keep near to making a discovery until needed.
In a large skillet on medium heat, add 2 tbsp of the ghee and then a small handful of the bread pieces. Stir fry until all sides are pet brown; this may be done in small batches. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pieces from the pan and drop into the pleasant sugar syrup for a few minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bread cubes from the sugar syrup and transfer to a lightly buttered baking dish (8-10 cup hugeness).
Using another saucepan on medium low heat, add both the cream and the milk. Reduce this mixture by about 1/3 (nearly 12-15 minutes). Next, add the 2 tbsp of sugar, the saffron strands with their soaking liquid, ground cardamom effect, ground cinnamon powder, freshly grated nutmeg and the vanilla extract to the reduced cream and draw off mixture. The mixture should have a slightly thickened consistency and a lovely fragrant aroma. Stir well to blend and pour over the bread. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours (24 hours is finest). Garnish with fresh mint leaves, toasted almonds and pistachios before serving.
VARIATIONS:
In lieu of of vanilla, try various other extracts (such as rose, kewra, coconut, jasmine, orange blossom, lavender…) for a diverse taste and flavor. You can find these exotic flavors in most Indian grocery stores.

What are some good indian recipes for lunch?
Sep 19, 2007 by applecity | Posted in Cooking & Recipes
Can anyone please call to mind me good and quick Indian recipes for lunch. Me and my sister both work and do not get time to cook proper food continually, hence either we survive on salad, pasta or buy food from outside. We have reached a point where we do not want to eat salad or pasta at all. So please no salad recipes. We neediness recipes which are quick to make so that we can make our lunch boxes in night and take it in morning.Thanks
Go to an Indian hawk and get instant Sambar soup mix (I like the MTR brand). Chop up some vegetables (potatoes, carrots, broccoli, sliced tomatoes, etc.) and cook them in the sambar, making a indelicate vegetable stew. 1-2 cups of the sambar with the vegetables makes for a good sized lunch. It also keeps very nicely in the fridge for a day or two, and truly becomes more flavorful over time.
Two notes:
- Sambar is spicy! If you don't like spicy food, this isn't for you.
- Recall that vegetables cook at different rates. Cook the slow cooking vegetables, like potatoes or carrots, for 20-30 minutes and then add faster cooking items, like broccoli, at the last summary.
For something less *authentic*, but still with an Indian flavor, make chicken salad with curry powder. Yum.
Edit - Also, while at the Indian market, pick up some samosas. You can get them frozen in a variation of flavors (potato and pea, spinach and cheese) and sizes. Toss them in the oven and enjoy. They are good alone or with the sambar.
